Science in Action
During each semester, the Science in Action Seminar Series is held twice per month on Tuesdays from 4:30 p.m. - 5:30 pm, accessible via THIS Zoom Meeting link or in person in Bldg 8. Room 8-302. You may also view older Science in Action seminars on our Youtube channel.
This weekly series is presented in partnership with the San Francisco State University Bridges to Baccalaureate Program, the Skyline College Science and Math Division, and the Math, Engineering, Science Achievement Program (MESA).
The seminar series is free and open to the public. The topics vary and are geared not only towards science, but the entire college experience, so we encourage non-science students to attend. Attendance confirmation slips will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there!
If you're interested in presenting and attending the Science in Action Seminar Series, please contact Denise Hum.
