Research Day – Department of Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Science

Thursday, March 7, 2024

1:00 PM-5:00 PM

Help celebrate student-led discovery at the BEES Research Day on March 7, 2024, in Drexel’s Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building (PISB). This event is free and open to all Drexel students, alumni, faculty and staff. Come out and support graduate and undergraduate students who will present their research posters and give talks about a broad range of topics they are actively exploring as members of the Department of Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Science (BEES).

AGENDA

• Poster Sessions — 1–3:15 p.m. in the PISB Atrium.
• Lightning Rounds and Lecture with Jason Munshi-South, PhD – 3:30-4:50 p.m. in PISB Room 104.

GUEST LECTURER
The BEES Research Day lecture will be presented by Jason Munshi-South, PhD, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences, Fordham University. Munshi-South leads lab projects primarily focused on understanding the evolutionary implications of urbanization for wildlife –such as mouse and rat populations– in the New York City metropolitan area. For these studies, his lab employs complementary approaches from field ecology, population genomics, landscape genomics and computational biology.

Drexel will welcome Munshi-South to the BEES department as its new Betz Chair in September 2024.
