About the Graduate Symposium
The Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS) introduces its inaugural ABRCMS Graduate Student Symposium, designed for graduate students (master’s-level and doctoral-level) from 12 STEM disciplines. The goal of the symposium is to:
• Highlight graduate students' research through oral presentations,
• Build graduate students' scientific networks with STEM and career professionals, and
• Strengthen graduate students' professional development skills.
The symposium will be held November 8–9, 2022 (one and a half days) in Anaheim, CA prior to the ABRCMS conference.
