Basic Investigator Training Recap
Thanks to all of those who attended last week’s Basic Investigator Training at the Health Science Center in College Station. We would like to extend a huge thank you to Aubrey Craft for all of her work in setting up this training and making it operate so smoothly, as well as to extend our thanks to the HSC staff for their hospitality and attention to detail. SECO would also like to acknowledge the time and efforts of Elinore Tecson and Jacob Becker from the Office of General Counsel for generously sharing their expertise with our members. Our training covered three days and many topic areas, and we learned we could have benefitted from another half day of training, given the significant opportunity for questions and conversation.
