ACEBB Seminar Series 2010
ACEBB has a strong tradition of attracting high quality speakers, leaders in their field, to present open seminars to an academically tuned audience. These provide stimulating insight into the trends of Evolutionary Biology & Biodiversity.
The 2010 Seminar Series was held between 12.00-12.50pm usually in the Royal Society Room, South Australian Museum. All members of ACEBB, the Environment Institute, their research groups and members of other University Faculties, Schools and Disciplines were welcome to attend. Participants were encouraged to join us at staff house to talk to presenters and enjoy a discount lunch.
