J-Term is a vibrant week-long specialized course, organized by trainees and students from other training programs
They identify novel skills and gaps in training, including content areas (e.g., genetics or dynamic systems), specific tools/techniques (e.g., speech or neuroimaging analysis), programming (e.g., Python), ethics (e.g., topics in the Responsible Conduct of Research), and advanced statistics (e.g., mixed effects models in R), etc.
Hence, J-Term also provides opportunities for leadership, collaboration and teamwork!
