As part of her tenure evaluation, Prof. Jolanda van Leeuwen will give a public talk entitled “Network biology: from fishing expeditions to understanding the ocean” at 9:30 AM in the Biophore Auditorium.

The CIG regrets that the seminar coincides with the Genopode retreat; however, the date was scheduled based on the availability of the evaluation committee members. Individuals present this Friday are therefore invited to attend and give their feedback.
