Geomicrobiology Network Seminar Series

During the academic year 2020/21, the Geomicrobiology Network ran a Seminar series. 

The aim of these seminars is to facilitate knowledge sharing, exchange of ideas and networking amongst our community. These seminars typically consisted of a 40 minute presentation, followed by 15 minutes of questions and discussion. They were great opportunities to see and interact with familiar and new faces amongst our geomicrobiology community. Delegates are asked to register but there is no charge.
