“Designing slides to present scientific results” workshop
Students in the Wright Lab summer program are invited to workshop their presentation slides with WL postdocs, graduate students, and their peers. The workshop will last 1.5 to 2 hours.
Undergraduate
Resumes and websites workshop + pizza lunch
Learn how to recognize what makes a good résumé or CV, how to manage your online professional presence, and what tools you can use to help you make decisions about your grad school search. We’ll look at several faculty CVs, commonly-used professional profile websites, and library databases that can help you find information on departments, industries, companies, and more — whether you plan to go into academia, corporate, or nonprofit work.
Science Communication: Presentation and panel on preparing papers, conferences, scientific talks, and outreach
“Science Communication” will include presentations providing helpful information and tips about:
Writing & publishing papers & abstracts
preparing for scientific conferences and presentations
communicating with the public about science
The event will conclude with a Q&A panel discussion to answer any questions you may have or cover any additional topics you are interested in.
Beinecke Library Experience
Open to students in the Wright Lab summer program.
Split between the Beinecke and Medical Historical Library, Yale has access to early editions of many milestones of achievement in physics. In this enrichment session, you will have the opportunity to see works with topics ranging from early materials science, astronomy and cosmology, physics, and mathematics, a total of 15 items.
Introduction to Quantum Computing Workshop
The workshop will be divided in two parts: one-hour overview of quantum computing and another hour of hands-on programming exercises.
Requirements: please bring a laptop.
Research computing office hours for WL summer program students
This session will provide an opportunity for students to get assistance from the YCRC Research Support team with programming and HPC related questions specific to their research projects.
Tour of YQI superconducting qubit labs
Wright Lab summer program students are invited to join YQI for a tour of the superconducting quantum devices laboratories in Becton. Meet up at YQI at 12 pm for a quick introduction to Quantum Information Science and then we’ll head to the labs and back to YQI where lunch will be provided.
EHS Orientation for WL shops
The EHS shop orientation is offered each semester and is required to be taken once by anyone who would like to gain access and make use of the research and teaching shops at Wright Lab.

Introduction to the Advanced Prototyping Center
In this workshop we will cover the equipment available at the Wright Lab Advanced Prototyping Center and how to get started designing parts. Basics of CNC laser and abrasive water jet cutting will be included, as well as an introduction to 3D printing. No prior experience is required, but having an idea for a project that you may want to get started on would be great. We will start off with a classroom presentation and then have a quick tour of the facilities.
Wright Lab Summer Student Program Kickoff
The Wright Lab community is invited to welcome our summer student researchers with coffee, breakfast food, and casual interaction.
