The first installment of the Fall Seminar Series at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB) is coming up on Friday, Oct.4, 4 p.m. in OIMB’s Boathouse Auditorium.  The speaker is Gary Saunders of the University of New Brunswick, speaking on “Shifting paradigms of seaweed diversity and biogeography in northern North America.”  The talk is free and open to all (but be aware that these OIMB talks are oriented toward scientists and students, not the general public, although members of the public are welcome to listen in).

Dr. Saunders specializes in studying the evolution and diversity of marine algae.

To reach the OIMB Boathouse Auditorium, park near the campus (63466 Boat Basin Rd.) and walk down the road past the Coast Guard housing.
