Seminar Series

The Biological Sciences Graduate Student Association (BSGSA) and Darwin Days has organized a seminar series where researchers in the sciences are brought in from around the country to present research seminars. Students in BIO 1150 are required to attend one of these seminars and write a two-page, typed (12 point font, 1” margins) summary of the seminar including details about the introduction, materials and methods, results, and discussion of the seminar. Each summary should focus on two additional topics: What were the most important ideas presented in the seminar (and, more importantly, why do you think they are important)? and What were the muddiest points in the seminar? Be sure to provide the title of the seminar, the name of the speaker, the date of the seminar, and your name. Seminar summaries are due one week after the date of the seminar.

In lieu of attending a BSGSA / Darwin Day seminar, students can attend another seminar or presentation on campus (with prior approval).
