Seminar Series Fall 2010
The Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology is hosting a seminar series beginning in the Fall Semester, 2010. The invited speakers will be a mix of SFU researchers, local non-SFU researchers and visiting researchers. While the researchers will present on their own field of research, they will be asked to format the lecture in a manner that is approachable to an audience with diverse backgrounds. The main goal is to create an intellectually stimulating series of seminars that will increase interactions and collaborations amongst faculty while also serving to broaden the education of our trainees. With a few exceptions, the seminar series will take place from 11:30 to 12:20 each Tuesday during the Fall and Spring semesters. Please use the navigation bar at the left to view the upcoming seminar schedules.
Please direct any questions to the seminar coordinator, Dr. Andrew Blaber.
