Science Seminars Guide

Many of the Science Departments have a related Seminar course with multiple presentations throughout the semester. This guide serves as a launching point for students to dig deeper into the resources related to some of those presentations.

Spring 2024 BMB Presentations

These presentations come from the BMB Seminar Series. 

Under each presentation:

 you will find related resources curated by the science librarian. These resources might be broad overviews of topics or they might be specific. They are meant to serve as a starting point. 

Want to just see all the resources at once? Check out the Zotero Folder for BMB Seminar Presentations.
