The 5th Annual Darwin Day Research Symposium celebrates the profound impact of Charles Darwin on modern biological science and explores how evolutionary theory underpins all biological systems. While honoring Darwin’s historical contributions, the symposium invites researchers to present their own work, highlighting how contemporary biological research continues to be shaped by evolutionary questions.
This year’s featured speaker is Dr. Kathryn Turner, Associate Professor of Ecological Genomics and Invasion Biology in the Department of Biological Sciences at Idaho State University. Dr. Turner will discuss her research on plant invasion biology, using a range of approaches to better understand the processes that drive invasive species.
