In November 2022 we inaugurated the qbio Workshop teaching unit.
For its first edition, we received three renowned invited speakers tackling different aspects of ‘Transcription’:
– Monday 7/11 Florian Mueller (Institut Pasteur, Paris)
– Tuesday 8/11 Vahid Shahrezaei (Imperial College, London)
– Thursday 10/11Thomas Gregor (Institut Pasteur, Paris)
Students picked their preferred topic and worked in small groups (2/3 people) to organise a presentation based on two articles of each invited speaker.
After the speaker’s seminar (open to the scientific community in Montpellier), the M2 qbio had the occasion to exchange about the presentation during and after lunch, in informal sessions that were not limited to the scientific content but also touched on career advice.
The work did not end up that week of November. Each group spent a couple of months to write the proceedings of the meeting, attempting to summarise in a few pages the salient points of the speakers’ results.
