Interdepartmental Immersion – Attending Seminars*

As part of the Interdepartmental Immersion for cohort 2*, please attend 3 seminars this semester in a department that is not your own. It’s even more fun to bring a friend, invite them to your department event, introduce them around. A person from a completely different perspective will be sure to astound and impress your peers. 

Invited Speakers – Help Brainstorm

Students are encouraged to invite speakers to come give talks. We started a list of potential speakers with short bios. Please feel free to add to this list and discuss who you’d like to hear from. We can invite them to give talks at the existing seminars outlines in the DS421 Related Seminars or a special event. There is funding for honoraria!

*The first person to coordinate an invited speaker with an existing seminar series will win a “special” prize.*

DS421 Seminars Calendar – Useful Information

Thank you for contributing to the DS421 master seminar calendar.

It is now a public calendar available through your Berkeley Google Calendar by searching for “DS421 Seminars.” Each seminar time slot has a link to the respective department’s event information. 

Most of the seminars are also viewable on the  Berkeley Initiative for Global Change Biology calendar.  This is not as comprehensive, but more user friendly. 

If you are aware of other seminars, please add them to this Google Sheet.
