Touro Faculty Research Network (FRN): Brainstorming and Collaboration

Faculty Research Network (FRN), hosted by Yocheved Bensinger-Brody & Carrie DiMatteo, is a faculty-led initiative to facilitate conversation among colleagues about research. The goal for this group is to bring together researchers at all levels from all programs who will meet to support and promote one another’s research and scholarship. We will gather every 3 months on the fourth Wednesday of the month from 12-1 pm ET on Zoom.

In the August meeting, FRN will discuss our research interests and brainstorm ways we can collaborate with and support one another. Participants will be encouraged to follow up with one another between sessions.
