Works-in-Progress Seminar Series
The Work-in-Progress Seminar (WiPS) series provide a forum for informal presentations relating to ongoing pre-publication research including, but not limited to recently initiated research projects, ongoing experimentation from trainees, draft manuscripts, responses to reviewers’ post submission and grants in preparation.
Introducing the Cardiovascular Center
Works-in-Progress Series
The purpose of the Cardiovascular WiPS is to provide an interactive environment for brainstorming to benefit both presenters, as well as participants; feedback, questions and lively debates are particularly encouraged.
The WIPS is open to all members of the LSUHSC academic faculty, staff, post-doctoral fellows and students. The WiPS take place on a monthly basis for the first three months, and bi-monthly thereafter.
Please contact Ms. Farah Prezume to volunteer as a presenter or to suggest others that might want to present.
