spring
2010 seminar series |
The
RTC Seminar Series brings leading local, national, and international
scientist to a public forum at RTC to speak about the latest
advances in science. The Seminar Series is open to the RTC
community and the public. Please join us!
The Seminar Series
is part of a graduate level course designed to give students
an opportunity to hear from and interact with experts in
their fields of study. Graduate students also
present talks about their own research. This experience
gives them practice speaking to an audience and allows for
the exchange of ideas as they conduct their thesis research. |
