2024-2025

The TRAIL Brown Bag Learning Series is a weekly informal gathering held on Fridays at noon in Room 627 of the Allen Rosenfield Building. These sessions are an opportunity for faculty, students, and researchers to come together and learn something new—whether it be a dataset, software, new article, or simply to exchange ideas. This informal setting provides a platform for sharing knowledge, stimulating discussions, and fostering collaboration in a relaxed environment. Please see below for the series list.
