About the Series
The Spring 2013 Manhattan Beach Series features CSUDH science faculty presenting recent research in their fields of expertise. Lectures will
illustrate methods and experiments in biological, environmental, and physical sciences. You will learn how CSUDH faculty research is affecting communities
locally and globally. Emerging issues in science will be related to applications and real life examples. This is an opportunity to ask the experts in a
relaxed and collegial setting.
