Division seminars are an opportunity for our research and Lamont-wide communities to participate in research discussions and engage in networking and collaboration. Speakers include Lamont and outside graduate students, postdocs, research techs, faculty, and others doing work of interest to the scientific community, with a commitment to including diverse speakers from underrepresented groups.
