The MLS series is the joint seminar series of the MCDB program and the Ohio State Biochemistry Program (OSBP) and the Biophysics Program. Travel arrangements are made by Mandy Hargett (614-292-2804), Lucy Omar (614-292-1463), and Kiley Morgan-Myrick (614-292-5626) who can be reached at mlsseminar@osu.edu. Schedules are coordinated by the host. Contact the chair of the MLS Seminar Committee, Adriana Dawes (dawes.33@osu.edu), with speaker suggestions and policy questions. Nominations of Nobel laureates, NAS members, and HHMI investigators are typically approved without further documentation. Nominations of other speakers doing cutting edge research of broad appeal should include a short justification and CV or similar website link. We strongly encourage nominations of emerging young investigators, women, and under-represented minorities. We also encourage nominations from MCDB, OSBP, and Biophysics graduate students.
