The BioBytes seminar series is looking for TIFR researchers (faculty, post-docs, graduate students, scientists, visitors, research fellows, interns) who will volunteer to speak on topics at the intersection of biology and computer science.
Do you have ideas you wish to communicate beyond your department? Are you able to convey insights without requiring the audience to know too much technical language? You could be a biologist looking to find theory collaborators, a computer scientist with thoughts on how to work with large systems, or a mathematician or physicist with a novel way of thinking about aspects of biology. If that sounds like you, then do write to me at manojg at tifr dot res dot in.
The talks are typically fairly informal blackboard talks, at the pace of a classroom lecture rather than a formal seminar. The audience is a mixed crowd consisting of computer scientists, biologists, and an occasional mathematician and physicist. The seminars are held on Thursdays, from 2 pm to 3 pm, in the STCS seminar room A 212. The seminar is usually followed by a five minute break, after which there is a discussion among those who choose to stay back.
Some possible topics for talks:
1. Systems biology
2. Immunology, epidemiology
3. The brain and cognition
4. Computer security, ideas in distributed computingDo you have ideas you wish to communicate beyond your department?
