BSI Lunchtime Seminar: Dr Kate Madden (Newcastle University)
At our monthly BSI Lunchtime Seminars attendees can meet up with colleagues, make new connections, begin research discussions and lay the foundations for new collaborations. Our lunches typically last an hour. They comprise a seminar (or collection of short talks) followed by a friendly discussion. Where possible recordings of the talks are shared in the BSI Cafe teams group. To find out more about BSI Lunchtime Seminars contact bsi.admin@durham.ac.uk.
