Writing Seminars

CIRGE Writing Seminars serve as an opportunity for one person each month to present a paper, grant, or other written product ready (or nearly ready) for submission, get critical, interdisciplinary feedback from CIRGE and SCBE colleagues, and benefit from group discussion. All are welcome to attend and anyone in the Stanford community is welcome to present!
