Format is a chalk talk, you will get dry erase markers and a whiteboard to describe your past and current research endeavors. Need to prepare an ~5-10 min presentation in this format. The actual panel interview will last 30min-1hr. During the 5-10 presentation the interviewers will interrupt and ask specific questions about your research, test the depth of your knowledge and also try to determine your grasp of a career in science and what that entails.
