OxBacNet – a networking group, linking bacteriologists working in Oxford.
Organised by Judith Armitage (Dept. of Biochemistry, judith.armitage@bioch.ox.ac.uk) and Philip Poole (Dept.of Plant Sciences, philip.poole@plants.ox.ac.uk), we aim to have three meetings a year, held on Wednesday afternoon of fourth week each term. There will be research talks by senior and junior scientists, followed by opportunities for networking (and possibly even pizza!)
Next meeting:
2pm Wed 31st October 2018 in Large Lecture Theatre, Dept. of Plant Sciences, South Parks Road, OX1 3RB
To join the OxBacNet mailing list or for further details contact Alison East (Dept.of Plant Sciences, alison.east@plants.ox.ac.uk)
