The ActinoBase e-Seminar Series

The ActinoBase e-Seminar Series is an opportunity for both early-career and established researchers in the Actinobacteria community to share their work.

Two speakers each deliver a half hour presentation (twenty minute talks followed by ten minutes of audience Q&A), streamed directly to YouTube from Zoom, with the opportunity for their presentations to be uploaded to the ActinoBase channel. Each seminar is moderated by at least two early-career researchers who introduce the speaker and select questions from the stream chat & twitter.

The seminar is broadcast every Thursday (times TBC) and can be accessed via the Actinobase YouTube channel. To register interest in participation, as well as sign up to mailing-list notifications, please fill out our google form.
