This will be Environmental Law Society’s First Spring General Body Meeting. We will discuss upcoming events.

CLASS Study Hours is offered Monday-Thursday from 1-3pm during weeks 2-10 of the term. Drop in to chat with an academic coach or body double the coach to get some work done with a little extra accountability!  

The University Research Computing Facility (URCF) is pleased to announce our Winter 2026 workshop series, which will run from February 17-24.

BEES Department Graduate Seminar guest speaker Dr. Heather Skeen, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University, will discuss “Temporal patterns and phylogenetics perspectives of avian microbiota.”

Abstract:
Understanding how hosts shape and respond to their microbiota is essential for understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes governing vertebrate health and adaptation. Dr. Skeen will present recent work examining how birds’ environments and life histories influence the microbial community they carry, highlighting the spatio temporal dynamics of Nearctic–Neotropical migratory bird microbiota. To complement these insights, she will outline Avian Ig-SEQ, a bird-specific approach for examining fine-scale, immunomodulated host-bacteria interactions. By integrating these perspectives, this talk will outline a framework for advancing avian microbiome research toward a more predictive and immunologically informed science.

Bio:
Heather Skeen is currently the EEB Departmental Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University. She received her Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on identifying the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms shaping the relationship between migratory birds and their microbial symbionts.

What would it be like to spend a year overseas, pursuing your interests on your own terms? The Fulbright US Student Program provides grants for one year of research, graduate study, creative projects, or teaching English in 140+ countries. This info session will provide details about the program, the Drexel application process, and tips for crafting a competitive application. 

Fulbright is open to US citizens who are current juniors, seniors, recent alumni, or graduate students in any major, but other undergraduates interested in applying in the future are welcome to attend. If you're graduating in this term or heading out on spring/summer co-op, never fear! Fulbright application support is still available to alumni and students on co-op via the UREP fellowships advisors. Attend the session to learn more about how to get started.

Register on Zoom

Interested, but unable to join just live? Register anyway, to be included in follow-up and receive a copy of the slides and notes from the session, or check back in in late March for information on our next round of Fulbright info sessions, to be held in April and May.
