Ethel Browne Harvey
Postdoctoral Seminar Series

About

The Society for Developmental Biology Ethel Browne Harvey Postdoctoral Seminar Series was established to highlight the work of our outstanding postdoctoral members, providing a platform for those members who will soon be going on the job market. Speaker selection will represent the breadth of diversity in the Society, including gender, race, ethnicity, type of institution, geographic location, and research organism. Preference will be given to applicants who did not speak at the annual meeting.

The one-hour virtual seminars will be held the Second Friday of the month at 3:00 pm ET.  It will feature two postdoc speakers giving 20-minute talks followed by 10 minutes of Q&A. All seminars will be recorded and available on the SDB website. Recordings will be posted the following week.
