What are WoW TALKS?

The WoW TALK (What’s Our Work) Series brings together colleagues and students from disciplines associated with GW's Science and Engineering Hall—and related fields—to present new research and share ideas. These short talks (15 minutes each) are designed to introduce members of the GW community to current and exciting research projects, to initiate discussion, collaborate, share expertise, and to promote research performed in the SEH and at GW.

These talks are an opportunity to gain awareness of the different kinds of important work being done in the sciences here at GW, and can open the door for future collaboration opportunities.

Students are welcome to attend.

All WoW TALK sessions are held in Science and Engineering Hall B1220.

To be considered to speak at a future session, please contact us at ccasres@gwu.edu

With summer upon us, we want to inform you of the continuation of the CCAS Summer Writing Groups that were first offered in summer 2020.  The writing groups can be designed to help you in any project you desire, for example: writing book chapters; journal papers; or applications for fellowships and grants. These would provide an ideal way to help you power through that chapter, or approach the drafting of your NSF CAREER grant in a more structured way. The idea is to start with a six-week commitment and you are free to extend the group beyond that period if the group members are finding it helpful.

In order to register your interest, please fill out the Google Form by Wednesday, June 16th and we will try to match you with a small group (3-4) of faculty with similar aims and needs. There are three types of groups (explained in the form). The group will typically meet once per week, but you are free to determine as a group whether you want to meet more or less frequently than that, how long each meeting will last, and which online platform you will use to meet.
