Seminars & Events
Molecular Plant Science Seminars
Visiting scientists discuss timely topics. While at MSU, the scientists visit our laboratories to speak with the students, postdocs, and faculty in an informal setting.
Time: Mondays at 4:10p (Cookies and coffee at 4p)
Location: Room 101 Biochemistry Building
