Feb. 18, 2009 Through Present

Below is the list of archived seminars. UC Davis entomology professor James Carey, chair of the University of California Committee on Research Policy, proposes the creation of a network to Webcast the hundreds of seminars presented in each in the 10-campus UC system. Graduate students James Harwood and Amy Morice of the Carey lab donate their time to video the UC Davis Department of Entomology seminars. Earlier assisting was postdoctoral scholar Freerk Molleman, then of the Carey lab.
