The minority students in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences participate in a monthly forum called the “Minority Scientist Research Network”. The goals for these meetings are to foster community among, share academic interests, and provide resources specifically for people of color who are pursuing careers in the biomedical sciences. Yale faculty, in particular faculty of color, are invited to discuss their research, as well as provide insight and guidance to students on how to navigate graduate school and beyond. The meetings are open to graduate students, post docs, medical students, and faculty. For more information please contact the Director of Minority Affairs.
