Wed, 09 Feb 2022 10:59:14 -0500

Hello there, fellow BioCom Members!!

We hope your semester is off to a good start and you are ready for more exciting Biology endeavors :)

Good news is, we've got an EXCELLENT opportunity lined up for you -- Dr. Jeff Leips will be hosting an in-person lab tour on Monday, February 21st from 12 - 1 pm.

Dr. Leips studies the genetic basis of age-specific changes in traits that contribute to senescence and ultimately limit life span. His lab uses the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model organism. Dr. Leips also works on understanding the ecology of natural populations of Drosophila to identify the agents of selection acting on genes controlling these traits.
