Plant Talk

An informal lunchtime seminar venue in the Biology Department at Florida International University

usually meeting on Mondays at 12:30 in WC 130 [see specific date and time schedule below]

We invite you to join us

for this year's smorgasbord of:

relaxed research presentations, half-baked hypotheses, travelogues, virtual visits to near and far away field sites, and who knows?  The lineup is ever-changing and the best is yet to come...
