Organismal Biology Day

Organismal Biology Day is an annual event started in 2006. The event is intended to bring together the BEES community and Smithsonian colleagues and scientists from other affiliated institutions. Every year OBD has featured a seminar by a well-known scientist and a poster session. Since 2009, we have included dinner for all and an awards ceremony for our student awards.
