SD-CAB Student and Postdoc Symposia
SD-CAB is pleased to invite you to the 2012/2013 SD-CAB Student and Postdoc Symposium Series. This Symposium series is open to students, postdocs, faculty, commercial partners and the general public. It is aimed at becoming a showcase for the different SD-CAB laboratories to present their research throughout algae biotechnology, increasing communication and collaboration within SD-CAB and providing some excellent presentation and networking opportunities for students and postdocs.
This monthly event will take place from 4-6pm on the third Friday of each month at Sumner Auditorium, SIO. Each Symposium will feature 3 brief student or postdoc talks, followed by a Q & A session. A reception will follow on Sumner plaza.
