You're Invited to the 3rd Annual Tallahassee Biotechnology Expo
You are invited to the 3rd Annual Tallahassee Biotechnology Expo, a collaborative partnership between The Challenger Learning Center and the iGEM at FSU program, taking place on Saturday July 18th from 10:00AM to 2:00PM at the Challenger Learning Center, 200 S Duval St, Tallahassee, FL 32301. This event is centered around interactive learning and exposure to various topics in biotechnology for the K-8 students in our community. The expo will feature interactive exhibits and activities to engage the participants in STEM themed learning.
Invitation: “Understanding and Avoiding Plagiarism” Workshop – July 11, 2025
You are invited to attend an important workshop titled “Understanding and Avoiding Plagiarism” on Friday, July 11, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. The session will be held in person in the Frederick S. Humphries Science Building, Room 214, and online via Zoom (Meeting ID: 954 1504 3741).
Plagiarism can have lasting consequences, including the potential to derail careers and damage reputations, even many years after the offense. This workshop will address what plagiarism is, why it matters, and how to prevent it in your academic and research writing.
Whether you are preparing a thesis, dissertation, journal article, or class assignment, understanding how to properly credit sources is essential. Moreover, many federal funding agencies require that students and postdoctoral researchers receive training in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)—and this workshop meets part of that requirement.
We strongly encourage all graduate students, postdocs, and interested participants to attend this session and gain the knowledge needed to protect your academic integrity and future.
Please mark your calendar and plan to join us!
