2007 - 2008 Colloquium Schedule
The following is a list of all talks being presented for this year's Colloquium series. Colloquia are held in EEB room 105 unless otherwise noted.
We have video of the speakers' presentations available for those who are unable to attend the talks. Since mid-winter 2008 we've been using Flash as our video format, which should be viewable by anyone. Videos prior to that, though, are in Windows Media format. Watching those older videos (click on the "Watch the Windows Media video" link) will require Windows Media Player or another program compatible with Windows Media files such as MPlayer or VLC. Watching the full presentation of the older talks ( click on the "Watch the full presentation" link), which includes a Powerpoint display of the speakers' slides, requires Internet Explorer on either Windows 2000 or XP; acceptance of ActiveX plugins; the installation of a Powerpoint viewer; and possibly the installation of additional plugins and software.
If you would like to receive email notitfications for our Colloquium, please send email to to be added to the list. An email is sent out three times for each talk: a week before, the day before, and the day of.
