SEMINAR ARCHIVES (Fall 2022 - Spring 2023)
The Fall 2022 / Spring 2023 JMU Chemistry & Biochemistry Seminar Series may include a mixture of in-person and online seminars, as noted below. Most seminars are scheduled for 3:30pm on Fridays, though other times may be scheduled, as note below.
- In-person seminars are generally in King room 159, unless otherwise noted.
- Virtual, synchronous seminars. In this format, the speaker(s) will present material live (Zoom), and students and faculty will either log in during the presentation or attend a "watch party" in King 159. These seminars may include interactions during and/or after the presentation, where participants can ask questions, comment, etc.
Zoom links will be posted on the Chemistry and Biochemistry Majors Canvas site. If you are not a member of that site, please contact carankl@jmu.edu or another JMU Chemistry faculty member in advance of the seminar to request access.
Additional formats may also be explored, depending on circumstances and interests of the presenter(s).
Seminars are regularly scheduled throughout the semester, and this page will be updated as needed.
Useful information for seminar speakers can be found here.
Archives of past seminars can be found here.
