Welcome to the May installment of the Nutrition Seminar Series, hosted by the Centre for Nutrition Modelling (Animal Biosciences Department). Each month, CNM delivers seminars from a different lab within the ABSC Nutrition group to share their exciting new research in a dynamic manner. This month, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Liz Koutsos to present a seminar titled: "Black soldier fly larvae as a source of sustainable animal nutrition".

This seminar will be hosted in ANNU room 141 (live!) and also stream online via TEAMS. 

Please feel free to forward these seminar invites to industry partners or others outside the department who may be interested.
