Life Sciences Division - Seminar Series

Fall 2005

The Life Sciences and Genomics Division Seminars and the Biosciences Distinguished Lectures are usually scheduled for Tuesday afternoons, from 4pm to 5pm. The talks are usually held in Building 66-Auditorium. Exceptions to time or location are indicated in RED text below. Speakers and details are subject to change. This page is updated regularly, but you may also contact Gail Mosley at (510) 495-2981 or glmosley@lbl.gov for further details and confirmation.

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory continues to welcome off-site visitors. However, during these times of heightened security, site access procedures have been adjusted. Whether you plan to drive or take the LBNL shuttle, please contact Gail Mosley at (510) 495-2981 or glmosley@lbl.gov at least twenty-four hours prior to each presentation to arrange site access.

If you are coming from off-site, please consider taking the LBNL-Strawberry Canyon shuttle bus to the seminar (http://www.lbl.gov/Workplace/Facilities/Support/Busses/off-site.html). We encourage seminar attendees from UC Berkeley campus to use the LBNL Strawberry Canyon shuttle bus that departs from Gayley Road, across from the Greek Theater, every 15 minutes (refer to the online bus schedule for more information).
