Department of Biosciences

Seminar series

The Biosciences department runs two seminar series: Departmental seminars that cover a wide range of biological topics, and EEE seminars that cover topics related to Ecology, Evolution and Environment. Please scroll down to find information about these seminars.

Departmental Seminars

Departmental Seminars are held during term time, on Thursdays from 13.00 - 14.00 in L50 (between Biosciences and Psychology). Recognising that our audience is likely to be broad, speakers have been asked to make their talks accessible, focusing a substantial part of their material on general issues and background to their work. If you have suggestions for additional speakers or would like to know more about the program, please email Dr Vincent Croset: vincent.croset@durham.ac.uk 

 

Ecology, Evolution and Environment (EEE) seminar series (2023/24)

These seminars will take place at 12pm on a Tuesday in L50 (between Biosciences and Psychology) though a small number will be online via Zoom. In these cases the joining links will be emailed in advance. If you have any questions, please contact the EEE seminar organiser Dr Andreanna Welch: a.j.welch@durham.ac.uk.
