The Biology Colloquium seminar series resumes for the fall semester this week with a talk by Hernan Garcia, an Assistant Professor of Genetics, Genomics, and Development at UC Berkeley. Dr. Garcia studies the biophysics of development, tracking the process by which an embryo builds itself from the starting point of a single fertilized egg. His talk will be titled ”Physical Biology of Living Embryos”.

Because CSUN has suspended large in-person meetings to help slow the transmission of the novel coronavirus, this week’s Colloquium will be presented by videoconference on the Zoom service. You can watch the presentation on Friday at 2pm via this meeting link, with passcode 548994. (Following the link may prompt the installation of the Zoom app in order to display video.)
