Biology PhD Exit Seminars

The Biology Graduate Program features a diverse group of scientists in the fields of Cell and Molecular Biology, Genetics, Physiology, Neuroscience, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
Biology MSc and PhD students are required to attend the majority of PhD Exit Seminars held each academic year.

PhD Exit Seminars represent an important scholarly component of the graduate training environment, providing students with opportunities to:

  • learn about current research being conducted within our program
  • develop critical thinking and scientific communication skills through engagement with diverse research topics
  • foster collegiality and a stronger sense of academic community within the graduate program
  • gain exposure to effective seminar presentation styles and dissertation research outcomes
  • demonstrate professional participation in academic activities within our department.

Regular attendance at the PhD Exit Seminars is consistent with the expectations of graduate professional development and contributes to a vibrant and supportive research culture.
