It’s time once again for the Aging and Metabolism (AM) Friday Seminar Series. The first seminar date is this upcoming Friday, September 30th in MC-206.
The presentations will begin at 3:30 PM sharp. Come early for light refreshments. Please leave your cell phones in the lab/office.
This seminar series is mandatory for all lab personnel in the Aging and Metabolism Program.
