Each week, S-SPIRE hosts a hybrid-model Work-In-Progress session (WIP) for faculty members and trainees to present their research and receive feedback. These run from September through May each year.
Our WIP sessions provide valuable opportunities to share research, receive constructive feedback, and build synergy within the Stanford HSR/Surgery communities. Held every Monday, these sessions feature Stanford and guest faculty as well as trainees—including postdocs, residents, and medical students—who present projects at all stages of development, from drafting specific aims pages to interpreting grant review committee comments and refining abstracts, papers, and methods
Anyone can attend and happy hour conditions apply here too.
