Thursday Brown Bag Series
The Department of Global Health and Population’s Thursday Brown Bag Series is a weekly seminar series featuring current research of faculty, affiliates, and guests of the department. The intent is to educate and raise awareness of our community and beyond. This series is held from 1-2PM in Building 1, Room 1208 or online on a case-by-case basis. Seminar recordings will be posted on the department’s YouTube channel and intranet. Questions regarding the series can be directed to Jessica Majano.
Harvard Chan School hosts a diverse array of speakers, invited to share both scholarly research and personal perspectives. They do not speak for the School, and hosting them does not imply endorsement of their views, organizations, or employers.
