Geomicrobiology Network Seminar Series

Geomicrobiology Network is running a fortnightly online seminar series starting on October 8th, 2020. The aim of these seminars is to facilitate knowledge sharing, exchange of ideas and networking amongst our community. These seminars will typically consist of a 40 minute presentation, followed by 15 minutes of questions and discussion. They should be a great opportunity to see and interact with familiar and new faces amongst our geomicrobiology community. Delegates are asked to register but note that there is no charge.
