As part of the Conservation, Ecology, Evolution & Behaviour (CEEB) research initiative, our department hosts weekly seminars and talks tackling current research in organismal biology. These include the Organismal Seminars presented by invited speakers, the Ecology & Evolution Lunches (EEL) led by our graduate students, as well as other general interest talks scheduled by the Biology Graduate Student Association (BGSA).
The CEEB Seminars are held:
Thursdays from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm in Stewart Bio, N2/2 or via Zoom
Refreshments will be served at 3:30pm.
The EEL Seminars are held: Fridays at 12:00 pm in Stewart Bio, N7/1. Click here to join via Zoom
