The plenary talks of the seminar
take place in the Robert Smith Seminar Room (1080) in the Physics
Research Building. However, there are a few dates where this room is
not available, so check the table below for remarks on the location.
The seminar serves as an opportunity to learn about the most exciting
biophysics research elsewhere as well as a forum for discussion among
the biophysics researchers and students at OSU. To this end, the
seminar features external speakers, internal speakers, and student
presentations. If you want to know more about the seminar, want to be
included in the email list with seminar announcements, or are
interested in meeting with a specific speaker, please contact Ralf Bundschuh.
Graduate students in the biophysics program for whom this seminar is
the required class Physics 801 may find additional information at
the web site http://cannoli.mps.ohio-state.edu/bph795.
In the winter and spring quarter the student presentations will be
held in smaller, self-organized groups to give every student a chance
to present and to enable a more open discussion. Once the respective
quarter comes close, information on these groups can be found at http://cannoli.mps.ohio-state.edu/bph795/groups.php.
