Spring 2000 Seminar Schedule
The Department of Biology at Texas A&M
University sponsors a weekly seminar series during the Fall and Spring
semesters. Seminars are held each Tuesday at 4:00pm in room 115 Biological
Sciences Building East unless otherwise noted. In addition to this
weekly seminar series, the department hosts the Frontiers
in Biology Lecture Series which is held 3-4 times each year. Our site
also contains readings for the undergraduate (BIOL
481) and graduate (BIOL
681) colloquia that include the seminars below.
Speakers for the Spring 2000 semester, including the Frontiers
in Biology Lecture Series are listed below. Links to
other seminar series are listed at the bottom of this page. If you would
like to be added to our weekly seminar e-mail reminder, please send your
name and e-mail address to ddouglas@mail.bio.tamu.edu.
