CurvoBio Webinars
You are a member of EuroCurvoBioNet
and you want to learn how biology relates to curvature,
or how morphologies relate to biological processes?
You are on the right page!
EuroCurvoBioNet offers webinar series dedicated to research, teaching and outreach
on curvature in biological systems at different length (and time) scales.
When?
-
Every first Wednesday of the month, 1:30 pm CET (unless otherwise stated*)
to attend the live event -
Whenever you want to consult the recordings afterwards (without Q&A)
Where?
-
On Zoom for the live events
-
On the EuroCurvoBioNet YouTube channel for the recordings
How to attend & access the Webinars?
Just make sure you join the COST Action EuroCurvoBioNet and you will get the details to connect to the virtual Webinar room and access the EuroCurvoBioNet YouTube channel: check emails from André Castro
