<div><font color="#000000">During January 2007, the Biology Department
is sponsoring several seminar series and discussions.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br>
One series of events, called "LIFE AFTER MIT", will include
discussions that provide guidance for talking the next step in
academic research and examine some of the career options in biology
outside of academic research and clinical medicine. It will
include a selection of roundtables on the practice of science,
navigating academia, and balancing it all with a life outside the lab
as well as covering non-traditional paths for Biology
PhD's.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000">A second series, "STEM CELLS AND
REGENERATIVE BIOLOGY". </font> The replacement of missing
cells, largely mediated by the action of stem cells, occurs naturally
as an integral part of normal adult life and in response to injury.
This lecture series will highlight topics in regenerative biology
ranging from the biology of stem cells in cell replacement to
regenerative tissue engineering.</div>
