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 2009-2010

Through the Fall and Winter months, MTRI usually holds one evening seminar a month. This year the Fall Seminar Series was kicked off with Forestry Week in September, with a seminar or event being held each day for a week! Regular seminars include a 30-45 minute presentation about an interesting topic, with lots of time for questions from the audience at the end. 

On March 3, we had over 25 people out to MTRI to see three Honours Students from St. FX University in Antigonish come out to talk about their cool research on Burying Beetles, Horse Flies, and Loons! The crowd was amazed by the interesting tidbits coming out of their research, and the relevance to their lives!

In February at the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute, the nine ladies who make up the core of the staff took turns talking about their work here at the center, where they're from, and much more. It was a great way to get to know one another, and Wendy provided tasty treats as always!

Summer Seminar Series 2009

Every summer, MTRI hosts a weekly seminar on a natural history topic of interest in the community. Students, professors, community members, and other experts present to a happy crowd, complete with popcorn and lemonade. Click on a poster to see it in detail.
