The theme of this event is “Representing the World: Maps, Models, and Mimeses”. The UM Research Intersections program is a graduate-student-lead initiative that aims to facilitate cross-campus collaborations through a series of networking events at all UM campuses.

This upcoming event will feature flash presentations (5 minutes) by graduate student or postdoc on research taking place at UM, as well as a poster session. All graduate students, postdocs, and faculty are invited to attend the event for food, drinks, and new research connections. Please RSVP if you plan to attend.  The group is still looking for presenters that fit the theme.  If you are a graduate student or a postdoc, or want to suggest a graduate student or postdoc whose presentation would fit this semester’s theme, please email researchintersections@med.miami.edu.
