The Department of Microbiology & Cell Biology RIPS series provides an opportunity for graduate students to formally present their research progress to the department.  All MCB graduate students are expected to attend the RIPS Series every academic year.  Graduate students should present their research progress beginning their second year.

The RIPS Series is held every Friday from 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM in Linfield Hall, 301 (this is a change in location from previous semesters).
