Emory's Population Biology, Ecology, and Evolution Graduate Program

All! Tomorrow is the PBEE retreat, so there will be no seminar. For those of you who are attending the retreat, it will be a day so fun that you won't even realize you will be learning too. It will take place at Hard Labor Creek State Park (that got its name from the eponymous creek which runs through the park). Check your e-mails for the schedule. Google predicts it will take roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes to arrive at 9:45am on Friday (from campus), so plan accordingly! Th...e exact location is the golf course club house at: 1400 Knox Chapel Rd, Social Circle, GA 30025 And remember to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring an umbrella or rain jacket just in case. See you tomorrow! https://goo.gl/maps/NtvMbCkm39SedsKK6

Join us tomorrow for our resumption of invited speaker talks (after so many great defense talks & ethics seminars!). We will be hosting Dr. Micaela Martinez from Columbia University. Dr. Martinez is a disease ecologist focusing on drivers of seasonality in infectious disease systems and the impact of biological rhythms on disease. Learn more about her here: https://memartinez.org/ 1462 Bldg, room 308, noon-1pm. See you then!
