Webinar on the wall

in this period of viral infections, many conferences and our weekly Mendel Centre seminar series have been cancelled. Plantae, supported by ASPB (American Society of Plant Biologists), organized a weekly webinar (#PlantaePresents) with virtual Plant Science Talks. Each week features two speakers: one senior and one junior plant researchers. Other webinars are also organized, EvoEco SeminarsOnline SPS seminars (Saclay Plant Sciences), GARNet-Presents webinars, among others.

The talks will be projected on Wednesdays in A26 building meeting room 2.22, at 4 or 5 pm (according to the Plantae schedule for the live webinars). We will alternate live webinars with recorded talks. This is a great opportunity to overcome the loss of networking that the COVID19 brought to us.

The program is below. If you wish to propose a webinar or a recorded talk that everyone would enjoy, don't hesitate to contact Hélène.

Due to the COVID Red Alert on Campus, all meetings are canceled until further notice.
