Description:
This seminar will explore topics related to current ongoing research within the departments of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology and Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. Students will learn about the latest developments from experts in the field. Both sections will meet at the same time and the same room for presentations from faculty, but split into two groups for discussions.
Professor Stephen Poole, MCDB & EEMB, Research area: molecular genetics of animal development, focusing on genes involved in development of external sense organs. Courses usually taught: INT 94ES; (this freshman seminar) Molecular Genetics II: Eukaryotes, Biochemistry Lab, Sequence Analysis.
Professor Susan Mazer, EEMB, her research examines the processes contributing to the evolution of reproductive and life history traits in wild plant species. She works in both the temperate zone and in the tropics. In California, her research focuses on the ecological causes and consequences of mating system and life history evolution in a group of California wildflowers (in the genus Clarkia). Currently, she is teaching the Botanical Diversity section of the Introductory Biology series (EEMB 3C); an upper division course in General Botany (EEMB 127) and a laboratory in General Botany (EEMB 127L). In addition, there are usually 6 – 10 undergraduates working in her lab per quarter who earn units as EEMB 199 or EEMB 99 students. She also teaches an undergraduate seminar in Plant Reproductive Ecology & Evolution (EEMB 194M).
