Biology Seminars
The School of Biology hosts a weekly seminar series that covers research across the breadth of the biological sciences. All students and faculty are invited to attend. Seminars take place on Thursday at 11:00 AM in Cherry Emerson 320, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
For speaker and topic suggestions, please contact, Joshua Weitz < >. If you have questions about logistics or would like to set up an appointment with a speaker, please contact Lisa Tuttle <>.
