Past events
2022
Summer Computing Workshop 2022
Join us for a 2-hour Computing Workshop aimed at introducing basic computing concepts to biology researchers. This workshop requires no previous experience in computer science and is aimed at undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, and career scientist levels. We will introduce computer science concepts, give you a tour of hardware, learn about different languages, and introduce github as a way to collaborate. Please follow the link below to read more and register by July 15th.
Wednesday, July 20, 2022 from 1 – 3 pm

Navigating the transfer process
A panel discussion with science students at Colorado State University. Come meet science & engineering students who transferred from community college to 4-yr university! Hear their stories and strategies for success.
Monday, Nov. 22, 2021. 3:00 – 4:30pm
Summer 2021 – Statistics Workshop
This summer we’re focusing on different topics related to regression, linear or otherwise. David will review linear regression models and how to manage outliers. Jess will demonstrate ANOVA experimental design and multiple regression. Elliot will explore variable types. Ben will demonstrate simulations.
BMB Faculty Candidate Journal Club
Let’s do our homework! Join us to learn about the faculty candidates and their research before we meet them by reading and discussing their recently published works.
mRNA Live Imaging Virtual Internationl Lab Meeting
This will be a casual, informal meeting between a number of labs that are currently developing live RNA imaging in C. elegans. We will be joined by a few groups from other fields who can offer success stories. The aim of this meeting will be to share our progress and goals with the goal of more efficient protocol development and optimization. The hope is that this will jointly benefit all attending groups and the community at large.
2020
Summer 2020 – Writing Workshop
As scientists, were are judged by our writing skills. In particular, writing abstracts is an integral part of communicating our science and is usually the first impression a reader has on your research. During this workshop we will 1) discuss successful writing strategies and habits, 2) learn to write an effective scientific abstract, 3) participate in a mock abstract review board.
Summer 2020 – Statistics Workshop
Weak or strong, we could all use some reps on the statistical equipment in the discipline. So, let’s flex those stats muscles! In this workshop we will 1) See how others are using statistics to evaluate data in their own research, 2) explore a topic you feel weak in, or never learned, 3) expose ourselves to new statistical topics, 4) discuss common pitfalls associated with data analysis.
Summer 2020 – Science Communication Workshop
Let’s practice communicating our science! No matter the field of study or stage in our career, we could all improve our science communication skills. Join us to 1) see how others are communicating science in a few minutes, 1) practice your pitch with different audiences, 3) build your research topic into a compelling story, and 4) discuss the barriers we experience to effective communication.
2019
Summer 2019 – Science Writing Workshop
The ability to write clearly and proficiently is increasingly the determining factor in advancement and success in a scientist’s career. So let’s practice getting better at the craft of writing together.
Summer 2019 – Statistics Workshop
The interpretation of data we generate as biologists is often incomplete without the proper implementation of statistical tools. However, it is commonplace for biologists to be deficient in statistical thinking. The goal of this workshop is to 1) remind us about fundamental concepts we may have forgotten (or never learned), 2) expose ourselves to new statistical topics, 3) discuss common pitfalls associated with data analysis
Front Range Worms Symposium 2019
Hosted by Front Range Worms. Join us for a day-long symposium to learn how nematode worms are used to make ground breaking insights into biological questions. Come meet with and learn from your nematode biologist peers in the Front Range region as well as our esteemed keynote speaker, Dr. Abby Dernburg.
2018
Front Range Worms Symposium 2018
