Dear colleagues, Every week during the academic year, the Tufts University Environmental Studies Program hosts a lecture series featuring speakers from government, industry, academia and non-profit organizations to give presentations on environmental topics. All the talks take place on Thursdays at 12:00-1:00 pm (US East Coast time) and they are open to the public. Most talks will be broadcast live and the recording posted in our website afterward.
