Every Friday during the academic years, plant aficionados from EEB gathering in person for informal discussion on diverse aspects of plant biology. We meet at 12.20 PM and for ± one hour, in the conference room on the third floor in PharmBio (303?).
This semester EEB grads will share ideas, progress and plans for their research in alternation with discussion lead by other members of EEB or invited guests.
If you would like to be added to the mailing list e-mail Karolina Heyduk.
