"Ready to Go" Talks

As 'experts' in the field of biology, we (the faculty) are often called to give lectures to various community groups, organizations, special interest groups, and schools.  The following is a list of talks that we have already prepared and are available to groups willing to learn more on the topic.  All talks are free of charge and are geared for the general audience.  Most presenters come with their own audio visual equipment.  All that is needed is a projection screen, possibly an extension cord, and an audience.

Persons desiring one of the available talks should contact the speaker directly either via phone or the email address provided.  Other talks may be available from these speakers if they are given enough lead time to prepare a presentation.  Click on the name for a link to their webpage to see their areas of research and expertise.
