Virtual Meeting Series

Building on the enthusiasm of our first virtual annual meeting in 2020, we continue to bring the C-DEBI community together through a virtual meeting series. These virtual events are held monthly during the first week of each month, with a regular rotation of science workshops and professional development workshops. Each workshop contains about 90 minutes of programming, including plenary presentations by invited speakers, a community building breakout session, and a plenary Q&A session. To foster an open environment for data sharing and discussion, sessions will not be recorded.

The layout of the 90-minute meetings (all 10:30AM – 12:00PM Pacific Time) is anticipated to be:

• Welcome (10 minutes)
• Community building ice breaker (10 minutes; in breakout rooms if the group is large)
• Plenary talk(s) (30 minutes)
• Open Q&A (30 minutes)
• Wrap up (10 minutes)
