Online Research Seminars – Union-wide Poster Session

Following last week’s Biogeosciences session and CGU-wide AGM, we are pleased to announce the Union-wide poster session for this Thursday, August 6 starting at 2:30 pm eastern time.

This day change is for this week only due to a scheduling conflict. The remainder of the seminar series will continue on Fridays this summer. A full schedule of the summer series can be found here. We invite you to follow the series on our Facebook, Twitter and/or LinkedIn pages for the latest information.
