The intention is to have two 30min talks once a month, with discussion after each talk. The day/time will change every month to accommodate the speakers. The theme is biological physics, and hopefully we will have at least one talk from a Canadian group every time. Talks by students or postdocs are welcome, as are speakers who promote or represent EDI. Email andrew.rutenberg@dal.ca with suggestions about talks you'd like to see (or if you'd like to be removed from the list). Follow www.twitter.com/qbio_ca for generic updates.

Please forward this registration form https://forms.gle/isDZ7Es577b8hSeN6 to Canadian researchers (from student to professor) in biological physics, their collaborators, and anyone else you think may be interested in these seminars. All are welcome!
