PRL Seminars
|
The PRL sponsors two weekly seminars. Each Monday, a visiting scientist discusses research on a timely topic. While at the PRL, the visiting scientists also visit the PRL laboratories to speak with the students, postdocs, and faculty in an informal setting. This seminar series is administered by the Seminar Committee, composed of two faculty members, two postdoctoral research associates, and one graduate student. Once each semester, the graduate students select and host an outside speaker. The other seminar series, presented on Tuesdays, features a student or postdoc in the plant sciences presenting a seminar on his/her research project. |
