Fall 2011

Room 008 Mueller, 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 001.

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. "Sign up" sheets to meet with the speakers are available in Angel.

 

Questions regarding BIOL 590 should be directed to Kathryn McClintock (814.863.7034) in 208 Mueller.

 

Questions regarding seminar scheduling or speakers should be directed to Paula Farwell (814.863.0278) in 208 Mueller.
