The Joslin offers a summer series entitled, “Theory and Practice in Molecular and Physiological Techniques”. The objective of this series is to provide introduction, updates, and instruction in emerging or rapidly developing technologies with applications to diabetes research.

In addition to the weekly lectures, Joslin also sponsors three visiting lectureships each year (named for Dr. Priscilla White, Ray A. and Robert L. Kroc, and Dr. Alexander Marble). For each, a distinguished researcher may spend up to three days at Joslin giving one or more lectures, and meeting with fellows and staff.

See the Fellows Guide for more information about the Enrichment Program.

Each spring as part of the Marble Lecture Program, a formal evening dinner, usually held at the Harvard Club on Commonwealth Avenue or the Harvard Club on Federal Street in downtown Boston, provides fellows an opportunity to join colleagues for a lecture by a distinguished scientist. Fellows and students who are competing their Joslin training receive their certificates during the evening.

The Office of Research Fellow Affairs also sponsors several lectures each year on skills important for academic success including writing for publication, statistics, giving presentation, etc. In addition, the Office sponsors Poster Day, an opportunity for investigators and fellows to display and discuss their work presented at national and international meetings with Joslin and other Harvard faculty and staff.
