PERCOLATE is PaRC's works-in-progress series, where faculty, mentees, trainees, and students working on research can present to an audience in a low-stakes atmosphere for feedback. Members of PERCOLATE in the past have presented everything from interesting sources of data and draft grant applications; to presentations and posters accepted to conferences or journals; to presentations of research collected in major R01 studies.
