Upcoming seminars are listed below (you may have to sort by date in ascending order). Seminars are held every Monday morning at 10:30 am for one hour in the Rountree Room of the Biological Sciences Building at the University of New South Wales. See here for maps. The series is a mix of guest presenters and research updates from students and staff. Speakers will be supplied with a projector by default. If a computer is required, please make the request (PC or Mac) to Mike. |
