Biological Sciences Spring 2007 Research Seminars
Every week in the two teaching semesters, staff and research students from the School and distinguished scientists from other universities and research institutes give talks on aspects of their research or recent developments in their field of interest.
Two parallel programmes run within the school: on biological sciences topics at 12 pm on Wednesdays in the Biology lecture Theatre (G23) and on chemical sciences topics at 4 pm on Wednesdays in the Walter Besant Seminar Room (G11). Each talk lasts about 50 minutes and is followed by an open discussion. The seminar programmes are posted on noticeboards in both buildings.
Seminars often have direct relevance to the course units offered within the School, and are also considered an important component of the Integrative studies in the biological sciences course. All SBCS students are welcome to attend research seminars, and second and final year students are strongly encouraged to do so.
The seminar programme is co-ordinated by Lars Chittka (Biological Sciences) and Adrian Dobbs (Chemical Sciences).
