Chesapeake Biological Laboratory has a variety of faculty conducting research that is of interest to everyone, and our lab has a list of faculty interested in presenting at community events or for civic organizations about their research. Organization representatives are also encouraged to look at past Science for Citizens seminars to identify talks and speakers of interest. If your organization would like to have one of our faculty as a speaker for their event, please contact that person directly.
