BIOL 680X - Departmental Seminar Series

Biol 680x is a one-credit graduate course centered around the Department of Biological Sciences’s weekly seminar series. Students attend our department’s normal Friday afternoon seminar series throughout the semester alongside faculty, postdocs, and senior graduate students. Enrollees in 680x also engage with the research presented in the seminar each week by reading and reflecting the primary literature provided by each week’s speaker. The seminar features a combination of external and internal speakers that present on a wide range of research topics. One of the major purposes of 680x is to broaden student’s perspectives of the life sciences. Attendance is required (for two semesters) for MA and PhD graduate students.
