EEB Discussion Group
(Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior)

Meetings are held every other Friday at 4pm at the Greenhouse (unless it is cold or rainy). EEB is an informal seminar designed for exchange of ideas between students and faculty, through the presentation of research, discussion, and good company. All that is required is an interest in EEB. All students (undergraduate & graduate) and faculty are welcome. Contact Dr. Caitlin Gabor if you are interested in joining and/or presenting. Papers or related information will be linked as soon as they become available |
