Day 2: More advanced material, provided by guest lecturers, on the available techniques and their advantages and limitations.

Day 3: Focuses on the array of scientific careers available. Featuring guest talks from scientists at key partners on the Buffalo-Niagara Medical campus who will describe their work and the types of careers they support. The final day also includes tours of the various facilities on the BNMC and a networking social event. Participants will be awarded completion certificates.
