BMSC Summer 2020 Research Seminars
Join us to learn about the exciting and important research our Researchers and Alumni have been doing at BMSC!
In support of our vision to create an open, collaborative and approachable community of scientists at BMSC, we are excited to announce that we will be hosting our popular research seminar series online.
We welcome you to continue join in on the tradition of providing the opportunity for students, staff, and researchers to learn about new discoveries being made in various fields of marine science from experts in our community.
Selected seminars can be viewed on our YouTube channel.
