Bay Area Biosystematists Meeting: Thursday, 15 October, 2009
at UC Berkeley, 2063 Valley Life Sciences Bldg.
Undergraduate Research in Evolutionary Biology
This will be a first-time-ever-for-BABS panel discussion led by
undergraduates, focused on the research experience for undergraduates
in evolutionary biology in the Bay Area. Several undergraduate
researchers will speak informally about their research, the path they
took to get into research, where they hope to go with it in the
future, and what their hopes/fears are. Suggestions on how professors
and departments could enhance the process will be featured; this
should lead to a productive exchange between undergrads and
professional researchers, and a chance for us all to examine this
vitally important educational process.
Panel discussants include:
Elaine Fok, UCB (Mishler Lab)
Nairi Hartononi, UCB (Baldwin Lab)
Irene Liao, UCB (Specht Lab)
Brian Mahardja, UCD (May Lab)
Norma Pantoja, UCB (O'Grady Lab)
Schedule and venue:
5:30 - social gathering with beverages and informal pizza dinner:
cost ca. $10, to be collected at door, 2063 Valley Life
Sciences Bldg.,
UC Berkeley campus.
7:00 - talk followed by discussion, in same room.
