Biology Seminar Series

The seminar series is an important adjunct to the classroom. Each semester we host several research seminars by distinguished scientists from other institutions.

The seminar series:

• exposes students to an important form of scientific communication: the research seminar.
• provides an opportunity for students and faculty to interact with the scientists from other institutions.
• allows students to meet informally with speakers in small groups or at dinner to discuss science, careers, and research.
• encourages students to begin joining in scientific dialogue by asking questions during and after seminars.
