Dear colleagues,

Together with Chema Martín-Durán, we have selected six guest speakers for the MBI-CBU-Sars seminars that are going to be held on Fridays during the spring. These seminars will take place at the usual schedule and location, between 13:30 and 14:30 in the MBI seminar room. The following speakers are confirmed:

– Greg Wray, March 17
– José Luis Skarmeta, April 7
– Mark Blaxter, May 12
– David Kingsley, May 26
– Erich Bornberg-Bauer, June 02
– Tatjana Sauka-Spengler, June 23

The updated list can be found at http://www.sars.no/seminars/

Following the talk and the questions by the general audience, the guest will stay available for an informal discussion reserved for Post-docs, Master and PhD students. During this one hour event, young scientists will have the possibility to talk with him/her about a variety of topics. These can be directly related to the seminar, but discussions about career development or science in general will also be encouraged. Please remember that the event is a round table, so Chema and I will kindly moderate the discussion in order to provide opportunity for everyone’s questions. If you wish to meet the guest speaker for a more private talk, drop us a mail at least one day before the seminar and we will try to fit your request in the schedule : simon.henriet@uib.no, chema.martin@uib.no

I hope you will enjoy our visitors, see you in the seminar room !

Simon Henriet and Chema Martín-Durán
