This comprehensive 3-week experience is designed to introduce incoming graduate students to the world of scientific research through experiential learning. Led by faculty facilitators and senior students, participants spend two weeks exploring distinct research topics and one week building on science communication along with other essential skills. The program occurs at the start of a student&＃8217;s time at Washington University in St. Louis and offers students invaluable preparation for the academic journey ahead.  Students were able to&＃8230; Explore several research topics, guided by faculty facilitators and senior students Develop ideas for future research questions Learn to read scientific papers and analyze conclusions critically Gain preparation for the future requirements, like discussions, grant writing, qualifying exams, conference presentations, and thesis proposals Create a one-page document (Specific Aims Page) outlining past and future research, akin to a grant proposal 100% of students reported making new friends Post-Immersion students gained skills and confidence in key areas. Scientific Reasoning Bio-science Knowledge & Skills Writing and Communications Managing Their Self & Others Program Overview Interdisciplinary Scientific Immersion takes place over a three-week period at the start of the academic year in August. The first two weeks familiarize students with scientific research in graduate school, while the third week emphasizes enhancement of scientific communication skills. The program culminates with a DBBS-wide retreat that showcases student poster presentations and alumni career panels. This immersive experience requires most of an incoming student&＃8217;s weekly work hours for all three weeks of the program. Participating students will not be affiliated with a rotation lab during this time. Although it&＃8217;s not for credit or graded, full participation each week is expected to maximize benefits for students and their groups. Program Outcomes Students were surveyed before and after the Immersion Program with a variety of questions in four main categories. The data is ordered from Pre-Immersion to Post-Immersion. Scientific Reasoning Bioscience Knowledge & Skills Writing & Communications Managing Self & Others Communication Week The Interdisciplinary Scientific Immersion program has introduced a new emphasis during the third and final week, shifting its focus to Scientific Communication. Students learn to communicate research ideas effectively through written and verbal means, leaving with an ability to convey scientific ideas to diverse audiences.  Activities Include: •Written Communication: Editing exercises to improve clarity and content •Verbal Communication: Preparing short presentations and receiving feedback •Visual Communication: Creating graphical abstracts •DBBS-Wide Retreat: Concluding the week with senior student posters and Alumni Career Panels Guest Speakers Each year, the Interdisciplinary Scientific Immersion program hosts a distinguished keynote speaker to inspire students on various topics. The 2024 Immersion Keynote Speaker is Sara Serritella, a science communication expert, award-winning journalist, and private detective whose high-energy presentations grace the stages of global and national conferences. For students participating in Scientific Immersion, Sara&＃8217;s guidance serves as an opportunity to enhance their communication skills for graduate school and beyond. 2024 Keynote Talks & Activities Include: •&＃8220;Harness the Science of Storytelling to Transform Your Career & Share Your Research with Anyone&＃8221;: A talk open to all DBBS students •&＃8220;How to Give a Science Talk that Doesn&＃8217;t Put the Public to Sleep&＃8221;: A talk specifically for incoming DBBS students •Interactive Workshops: Hands-on workshops focused on topics such as writing for the public eye, building a personal researcher brand on social media, and boosting body language Sample Schedule (Scientific Immersion 2024) Week One: August 5 – 9 Week Two: August 12 – 16 Week Three: August 19 – 23 Contact Us [email protected] About DBBS Letter from the Dean Graduate Course of Study Stipends, Benefits &＃038; Grants DBBS Hooding &＃038; Recognition Ceremony DBBS 50th Anniversary Celebration April 28-29, 2023 Video Gallery Living in St. Louis WUSTL Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) &＃8211; Dual MD/PhD Faculty Immersion Program Roy and Diana Vagelos Division of Biology & Biomedical SciencesWashington University in St. Louis660 S.
