The ONU Intro Molecular Biology Symposium takes place every Fall and Winter quarters, when the Introduction to Molecular Biology (Biol 217) is taught. Speakers are students registered in the class, who throughout the quarter have written a review paper on molecular biology-related topics.
In this fourth edition we had two guest speakers, who took the class in the past and presented at the symposium in earlier editions.
