Carleton College Biology Department Seminars
2008-2009 Academic Year

Mondays, 3:30-4:30 PM in Olin 141
Drinks and snacks are available 30 minutes before seminars outside the seminar room. Anyone interested in the seminar is welcome to meet the speaker then.

Some events are scheduled for a Friday. In those weeks, please check to see if there is also a Monday seminar.

Seminar requirements (a reminder for seniors):

Seniors need to attend 2/3rds of all seminars over the academic year to fulfill the seminar requirement (approximately 12-14 seminars depending on the total number scheduled below). We encourage seniors to attend an average of at least 4-5 seminars per term and avoid waiting until the last term to squeeze in seminars.
