Major Issues in Modern Biology Seminar Series


The Major Issues in Modern Biology (MIiMB) seminar series was established by the College of Biological Sciences in 1986 to focus attention on important issues that influence the direction of modern biology. In 1990, the Tracy and Ruth Storer Lectureship in the Life Sciences endowment began funding the seminar series to bring to Davis eminent biologists whose current work represents the cutting edge of their fields of inquiriy. The series features speakers whose work has had a major impact in their field and is of broad appeal to the campus community of biologists.

The series generally consists of 4-6 seminars scheduled at intervals throughout the academic year. Each speaker presents a single seminar.
