Background on qbio.ca seminars

The intention is to have talks twice a year with two invited (20min+10min Q&A) and several contributed talks (10+5min). The theme is biological physics, and we intend to have at least one talk  from a Canadian group every time (see qbio.ca for more of them). We aim to have a diversity of speakers, identities, perspectives, and topics. All are welcome! Email andrew.rutenberg@me.com or aidan.brown@torontomu.ca with suggestions about talks you'd like to see and speakers you'd like to hear, to volunteer for a contributed talk, or if you'd like to be removed from the list.
