This seminar period is open for students to give their formal seminars and, as a reminder, students on a Master program are expected to give one seminar other than their exit seminar and students on a Ph.D. program are expected to give two seminars before their exit seminar. This seminar also is open for any of you in the School that would like to give a seminar. This includes faculty, postdocs, sabbatical visitors, etc. Also, if there are members of other academic units and/or local scientist from other disciplines or services that might have a</span><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='color:windowtext'>topic of interest to members of the School, send me their name and I will see if we can get them to talk.
