UW Biology - Faculty mini-symposium

The University of Washington Biology Department kicked off the new academic year's seminar series with a Faculty mini-symposium. This consisted of 4 departmental faculty taking 15 minutes each to present their current research; four talks for the price of one, in a sense, and I even got bonus free hand cramps because I think I took about as many notes for each as I do in a lot of hour-long presentations.

I'll write a separate post about each presentation, and then edit this post to link to all of them (and probably change the timestamp so it appears on top).

Update: writing all that up took me longer than intended because there was a trip to Bloomington in the middle and I had things I wanted to finish before going. It's now done, and these were the talks:

  1. Jennifer Nemhauser - Quite contrary models of how gardens grow
  2. Christian Sidor - New fossils from the center of Pangea
  3. Janneke Hille Ris Landers - The response of plant communities to climate change
  4. Benjamin Kerr - A Migratory Solution to a Tragedy of the Commons in a host-pathogen metapopulation
