On April 3rd at 4:00 PM, please come to the special SAFS seminar that will consist of Research Derby participants summarizing and presenting the work they have completed in a two-day period. The Research Derby is a speed-research event where groups of (3-4) students from different labs work together to think up an interesting research question, brainstorm their approach, collect data, perform analysis and present it to the SAFS community, all in two days. 

Please join the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences for our free public symposium, the Bevan Series, featuring internationally-recognized experts.
The 2015 Bevan Series is organized around a collection of current controversies in fisheries, with small groups of speakers to provide alternative perspectives on the issues at hand. We will discuss commercial whaling, seafood certification, the efficacy of marine protected areas, and inter-sectoral allocation in fisheries management.
