Held on Thursday afternoons during the academic year, this weekly seminar series presents invited speakers from academia and governmental and non-governmental agencies and organizations. Issues of interest and concern in the aquatic and fishery sciences and the latest research findings are discussed. This SAFS seminar series consists of weekly presentations by eminent academics, prospective faculty members, and the School’s own faculty members.

Banse Early Career Scientist Seminar Series (BECSSS) focuses on bringing graduate students, post doctoral scholars, and new faculty from underrepresented and historically excluded backgrounds to the UW Oceanography department to share their innovative research and to connect with our faculty on future career opportunities. Space is also reserved for renowned scholars and those who have chosen careers outside of academia. BECSSS scholars come from all over the country and the world, hosted in person and virtually, to bring their research to UW Oceanography. The BECSS series kicks off Fall Quarter 2021 (October-December), to be held on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 4:50pm PT.
