MSTP Lunches
Lunches introducing students to biomedical science departments (pink)
Weekly lunches introduce students to the work of the various biomedical science departments. Students of all levels enjoy the exposure to short talks by faculty members across all the basic science departments, but first- and second-year MD students find these talks especially helpful as they explore the various options open to them for their thesis research.

Each department hosts the lunch for a week. Typically two or three faculty members make short remarks about their work, the general focus of the department, and the practices and structure of the PhD program in the department. Ample time is left for questions.

Special topic lunches (aqua)
Occasionally the lunch meetings are devoted to talks of general interest—dealing with such topics as ethical issues, student advising information, and research of particular interest. Students sometimes use these sessions to invite faculty for mentoring conversations.

Lunch with the director (yellow)
Approximately half the lunches are casual conversations with Director Chris Kontos, and opportunities for students to discuss both general and personal concerns.

Summer pizza lunches (blue)
Summer lunches are casual and social. Students have pizza and soft drinks on the MSTP patio; this is a relaxed time to talk with the directors and to catch up with friends and colleagues.
