Research Design in the Study of Animal Social Behavior, hosted by Antonio Fernandez-Ruiz.
A weekly discussion group for the evaluation of ongoing research projects - not necessarily finished products - in areas related to animal behavior. Neurobiology and Behavior graduate students studying animal behavior are encouraged to sign up to present once every year, especially those students in their second year and beyond. Students, post-docs and faculty from any field are welcome to both present and attend.
NBB Presentation Series held in A409 Corson/Mudd Hall until the end of September, and then return to A106 Morison Room on Tuesdays from 12:20 p.m. - 1:10 p.m.
To schedule a date, contact Jaclene Weston
*LUNCH BUNCH - Research Design in the Study of Animal Social Behavior will return in Spring 2025
