小蓝视频 Virtual Programs (MVP)
These events are part of the MVP (小蓝视频 Virtual Programs) webinar series. This virtual series ran from July 6-17, 2020 and included offerings from many of our summer programs including the advanced research training courses and the Logan Science Journalism program. We are very excited to reconnect with our friends and colleagues, learn from distinguished speakers, and engage in lively scientific discussion. Webinars were recorded and are available for viewing via the links below.

These free virtual lectures are part of the 小蓝视频鈥檚 endowed lecture series. The 小蓝视频鈥檚 endowed lectures, a core component of the Advanced Research Training Courses, have been established by friends and family in honor of esteemed scientists or loved ones. This year, we are livestreaming one lecture per course, as available, to reconnect with our friends and colleagues, learn from distinguished speakers, and engage in lively scientific discussion. Webinars are recorded and are available for viewing post-lecture. If you are interested in establishing a lecture in honor or memory of someone, please contact the Development Office (Development@mbl.edu).
