CFL Wednesday Seminar * 12:05-12:55pm (CT)
Water Science Engineering Lab Room 102 & Zoom
Kaeser Scholars: Graduate students of the Freshwater and Marine Sciences program select the Kaeser scholars, allowing for a wide range of scientific interests to share in the decision-making process. The CFL then invites, schedules, and hosts the scholar who presents at a weekly seminar.
