Our growing comfort with virtual meetings has opened the door for more ready sharing of our work. In this vein, we started the “Toronto Membrane Seminar Series” in April 2022, in which ~1x/month we invite external graduate students and postdocs to virtually present their work to our group. It has been a fabulous success, offering a chance for us to meet each other and for both sides to learn a lot. The list of speakers is below.

If you are interested in potentially presenting to our group, please contact Jay (jay.werber@utoronto.ca).
