Mentors Meet Up to Discuss Potential Research Projects!
Earlier this month, the “Mentor Meet Up” was held at the Puerto Rico Science Trust. As part of the preparation, RaMP-UP principal investigators met with the mentors and co-mentors to discuss the program in detail, stimulate collaboration and communication amongst the faculty participants. The agenda for the meeting was: presentation of the goal and activities of the RaMP-UP program, followed by elevator talks from the mentors and co-mentors, and finally informal activities to promote new collaborations that will lead to projects for the incoming post-bacs.
RaMP-UP program focuses on areas of quantitative and computational Biology. As stated in the proposal, the program is set-up so that every student participant has a mentor from the Biology Department and a co-mentor from other departments.
