MSc Raoul Wolf at the Department of Biosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: Climate change effects on zooplankton

Peter Kennedy from The Department of Plant & Microbial Biology, University of Minnesota will give a talk entitled "Adventures in optimizing the molecular characterization of fungi communities"

Peter Kennedy is a fungal ecologist broadly interested plant-microbe interactions. He has worked most extensively on the ectomycorrhizal fungal symbiosis, focusing on how the structure of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities is influenced by factors such as interspecific competition, host specificity, and biogeography.
