EEBOB

The Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series focuses on biological topics at whole-organism and higher scales of organization. Guest speakers include KSU faculty, graduate students, and guests from other universities. Seminars will be pre-recorded and available for on-demand viewing by the beginning of each week. Question & Answer sessions will be held on Wednesdays from 1:25pm to 2:15pm.
