Do you have trainees with interests in aging research? The MIRA Trainee Network connects graduate students and post-doctoral fellows with interests in aging. The network meets for coffee on the last Friday of every month in MDCL 3504 from 9 – 10 a.m. to discuss research on aging, as well as trainee opportunities and challenges. All trainees are welcome. Members are also invited to present their research to the group. Contact the co-chairs (Sara Oikawa oikawasy@mcmaster.ca and Ruheena Sangrar sangrarr@mcmaster.ca) if you are interested in presenting at an upcoming meeting.
