BSCB GenSoc UK Cilia Network e-Symposia Series

Back by overwhelming demand from members of our cilia community, we will be running an entirely virtual online mini-symposia series four times a year for 2024 where our PIs, students and postdocs can continue to share their exciting stories!

Open to all, from now a ONE-OFF registration for this free series in advance will be required- once you are on our list, you will be sent a recurring link to each event for the Zoom webinar and link to the cloud recording once processed after the event. YOU DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER FOR EACH EVENT- I will transfer your registration for you for each subsequent event. If you wish to be removed from these events, please email pleasantine.millATigmm.ed.ac.uk to be taken off the list.

We will run the series under the ethos of the , sharing unpublished data from emerging talent favouring talks from students, post-docs and early career researchers. Talks will only be recorded with permission of the speaker and will be available on-demand for 96hrs after the event to registrants only. We realize there are many competing pressures for attention- we hope this change helps staying connected be easier for all.

Our goal with this online event was to provide an opportunity to support our young researchers during social distancing, to stimulate the discussion and feedback among our community they need and to foster collaboration and sharing of expertise across all things cilia.

We are thrilled to this event continues grow in popularity! As long as you all keep volunteering to speak, we will keep running the series! Submit your talk abstract and title or by emailing the organizer.
