The Biology Department sponsors a weekly seminar series. All seminars will be held every Friday from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in the Classroom and Faculty Offices (CFO) Building in room 203, unless otherwise noted. Seminars that have guest speakers or are dissertation defenses will have refreshments at 2:45 p.m. Biology graduate students are
