Friday Biology Seminars
Here you find the schedule of the Friday Seminars.
These are a series of talks in Biology taking place every Friday at lunchtime - it is a very friendly environment and the discussion after the presentation is normally very chill and quite enriching for both speakers and audience.
The seminars are held from 12:30 to 13:30 in Askja N-132 unless stated otherwise. Click on the title to see the abstract and Zoom link.
Friday Seminars are organised by Lieke Ponsioen (lieke@hi.is) and Han Xiao (hax2@hi.is). Drop us a line if you're interested in presenting or have questions.
