The Spring 2007 CCM Research Review series comprises weekly
overviews of the Center's research focus areas. Each session consists
of four brief presentations on specific topics within the designated
theme area, followed by discussion/Q&A. The Research Reviews, which
are free and open to the public, are scheduled Wednesdays at 11:30
in 106 CMSL unless otherwise noted. Lunch follows the session. Speakers include graduate students, post-docs, research associates,
and visiting interns.
