Seminars
MTRI learns alot about the environment through its research, but that information does not become fully valuable until it is shared. This is why we host a variety of seminars, or public presentations, throughout the year. In the summer, our Summer Seminar Series brings in over a dozen speakers on a weekly basis, wile our Fall and Winter Seminars occur once a month. Check out the topics below to see what whets your whistle, and give us a call if you have an idea for another topic that would tickle your fancy!
Fall and Winter Seminars 2011-2012
Through the Fall and Winter months, MTRI usually holds one evening seminar a month. Regular seminars include a 30-45 minute presentation about an interesting topic, with lots of time for questions from the audience at the end. Check back often for schedule updates.
