Geek Out At Lunch: Growing and Exploring Extracurricular Knowledge

1 credits · Graduate

This 1-unit seminar has one GOAL: GEEK! We will invite popular Stanford professors to 'geek out at lunch' - for 1 hour, teachers will share their passion for any topic outside their professional field and teaching material. Through 'Geek Lunch', students will learn the value of maintaining a variety of passions and interests in their graduate studies and professional careers. Students will observe how pursuing hobbies outside of STEM, or investing time in a part of STEM outside a defined niche or area of expertise, produces well-rounded physicians and scientists with high mental health and an appreciation for daily joys. All graduate students are welcome. There are no prerequisites except a passionate, curious mind!
