About EcoSeries
EcoSeries is a weekly speaker series hosted by WiGSS and the Wildlife Department in which local and non-local speakers are invited to share their wildlife-related work. If you would like to receive weekly email reminders about EcoSeries let us know at wigss@humboldt.edu and we'll add you to the list.
All talks are open to the general public. See attached flyers for information on upcoming talks.
We are back in person for EcoSeries! All presentations will be in WDFS 258 at 4pm. This room will be open to watch all virtual presentations as well. Please join us in person to enjoy the talks, snacks, and partake in a free raffle for a chance to win WiGSS gear! And don't forget to hang around after for EcoSocial, a chance to meet the speaker and chat with other attendees.
All Zoom links for virtual talks are included in email announcements for each speaker, email wigss@humboldt.edu for more information. Recordings of all talks (speaker permitting) are available by request (email: wigss@humboldt.edu) and will also be available at the end of the semester, see the links below.
