WISH Seminars

The research group hosts a series of weekly informal seminars on Wednesday afternoon, 5-6pm in room 365 (Ridley Building).

Talks are given by staff, students and visiting guests and span a broad range of subject areas not just marine science! Some people use this session to practice presentations for conferences, whilst others have presented a slide show of photos from a recent research trip to give people a flavour of their study location. There is no right or wrong! Examples of some of the recent talks are shown below.

If you would like to be added to the mailing list for the seminar series or are interested in giving a seminar, please contact Alex Caveen (a.j.caveen@ncl.ac.uk).
We look forward to seeing you there!
