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 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 on Thursdays at 4:00pm, in Stewart Bio, N2/2. Refreshments will be served at 3:30pm
