Fall 2009

Room 101 Althouse, 4:00 p.m., unless noted otherwise. (Refreshments served at 3:45.)

The Biology Department sponsors weekly seminars during the fall and spring semesters that feature speakers from both inside and outside the Penn State scientific community. Following most of these seminars, the speaker meets for 45 minutes with interested graduate students to discuss the seminar or other topics of interest to the students. All graduate students should plan to attend all departmental seminars and register for Biology 590, Section 1. Students registered for BIOL 590 are required to meet with at least six of the speakers after their seminars over the course of the semester. You should "sign up" for the speakers you wish to meet with prior to the semester. The "sign up" sheet is available in 208 Mueller.

Please direct questions to the webmaster.
