Sip of Science
«Sip of Science» (SoS) seminar series, organized by the Postdoc and Ph.D. Committees in coordination with the CEITEC MU administration, takes place bi-weekly in the E35 atrium at CEITEC MU, beginning at 3:30 pm.
Each session includes a 20-minute TED talk-like presentation delivered by postdoctoral researchers and (senior) Ph.D. students representing scientific groups and core facilities from CEITEC MU. The presentation is followed by a 10-minute long discussion.
The event concludes with networking opportunities in a relaxed environment, complemented by pizza and drinks.
