I have a reoccurring memory from graduate school three years ago when I earned my doctorate in Integrated Biomedical Science. It’s Wednesday afternoon at about 3:45. My lab members are rushing to collect their things and print off last minute graphs to show our mentor. But instead of shuffling down the hall to a conference room, we pile into cars and drive to the local Irish Pub. Yes, our lab meetings were held at a pub. Yes, we had beer and fried deliciousness (fries, cheese, onion rings, pickles, if they fried it, we ate it). And yes, we actually did talk about our data and have scientific discussions at these meetings.

UAB's Office of Postdoctoral Education (OPE) has several exciting events planned for the spring 2016 semester. Check out the details below, and consider making room for these events in your calendar.
