I got up early this morning to go tour some of the bioinformatics- and genomics-related facilities on the main University of Tennessee campus. After lunch, the actual interviews were held. They had matched each visitor up with a faculty member doing related research. Each 30-minute conversation went at least reasonably well, especially the first. That professor is doing purely computational work, though it is very interesting and I might want to look more into her lab.
After interviews, we got to attend the GST retreat, a poster session and mini-symposium held in partnership with the biochemistry/molecular/computational biology department. I saw many interesting posters and spoke briefly with a handful of faculty. The two departments had dinner together - a lot of people! In a few minutes I'll go to a GST grad student social event, the last part of the day.
