Saturday, October 17, 2009
12:00 AM
170 & 182 Dennison Building
Speaker: Professor William Fink, (U-M Ecology and Evolutionary Biology/Director, Museum of Zoology)
Can mice predict the future climate of Michigan? How long can a bass remember something that tastes really bad? Is changing sex a good thing? Can a scientist find happiness in Tahiti? These and other questions will be answered by Professor Fink as he provides some highlights of research and teaching in the Museum of Zoology, a center of biodiversity sciences at the University of Michigan. Some of the most treasured specimens from the research collections will be on hand.
This lecture is part of the LSA Museums Theme Semester.
