Plant Biology sponsors a weekly seminar series. Every Monday a visiting scientist presents a research seminar on a topic of their choice. The faculty, post docs and students have an opportunity to meet with the speaker on an individual basis. The seminar series is provided as a service to the department and to all others interested.
