Cramer Seminar Series

The weekly seminar series held during the Fall, Winter and Spring terms.

Background & Philosophy

The weekly seminar series named for R. Melville Cramer (Dartmouth 1877) in honor of his interest in promoting graduate education in biology. Towards this end, graduate students, faculty, and associates are encouraged to invite creative and productive scholars from other institutions to visit the Department of Biological Sciences at Dartmouth College, present an open seminar, and engage in scientific discussions. Visits are typically a couple of days with a seminar on Friday. Fall term 2025 seminars will be Fridays at 2:10 pm, unless otherwise noted.  A priority of the seminar series is to engage leading scientists from around the world to participate as outside committee members for Ph.D. students in the Department of Biological Sciences. Because interests within the department range from molecules to ecosystems, we also seek guests whose research seminar will be of interest to a diverse community of biologists.

All seminars are held in the Class of 1978 Life Sciences Center unless otherwise noted. Fall term 2025 seminar location: Room 201, Life Sciences Center (Tentative).

To inquire about scheduling a Cramer Seminar speaker, please contact Prof. Eric Schaller.
