MicroSocial Seminar Series
The MicroSocial Seminar Series aims to facilitate scientific exchange and community building across UMD’s microbiome research community. Monthly seminars feature UMD speakers, including students and faculty, who give short research presentations (either 2 x 12 minutes or 1 x 20 minute talks) followed by a social happy 1/2 hour over coffee and snacks. We welcome presentations about in-progress work or recent results, with the goal to provide an overview, receive feedback, promote opportunities for collaboration, or identify community interests and needs that the center may address. Open to all of UMD, the monthly seminar takes place on Tuesdays from 4–5 p.m. To present at the MicroSocial Seminar Series, please contact Gabi Steinbach (gabis@umd.edu) to be added to the schedule
Invited Speaker Series
The Invited Speaker Series features speakers from academia, industry, non-profit organizations, public communities, and federal agencies that promote the role of microbiome in a One Health context, ranging from sustainability, restoration, and public health. The series facilitates knowledge exchange between UMD and local experts in human and environmental microbiome research, with the long-term goal of establishing impact-driven collaborations in microbiome-focused initiatives.
