QLS has joined efforts with the Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine (CAMBAM), the McGill initiative in Computational Medicine (MiCM) and the Ludmer Center to offer weekly interdisciplinary seminars.
Seminars are held on Tuesdays from 12-1pm EST.
For recordings of the 2021-22 seminars please visit the QLS YouTube Page.
