The CES is proud to present this ongoing speaker series where we bring in leading researchers representing the cardiovascular, muscle, nerve, brain and behavioral science fields. Presentations are approximately 45 minutes long and are followed by a 15-minute Q&A session. Seminars are open to the public.
For questions regarding the seminars, please contact Dr. Zheng Wang. Seminars for the Fall 2023 semester will be held in Florida Gymnasium (FLG), room 220. See schedule below for dates.
