Natural & Applied Sciences Seminar Series
The NAS seminar series for this spring includes local and invited experts on a number of science and mathematics related topics. The first seminar will be presented by NAS Professor of Mathematics Dr. Greg Davis who will talk about the history of mathematical population dynamics, and the interplay of mathematical dynamical systems, mathematical modeling, and data.
Seminars meet 3:30 - 4:30 pm in the Environmental Sciences Building Rm 328 every other Friday beginning September 7th. Refreshments are served at 3:00 pm in ES 317. All events are open to the public. Students are especially encouraged to attend.
Congratulations to Jesse Cahill, winner of this year’s Sager Scholarship for Undergraduate Scientific Writing.
Jesse’s entry, "A Review of Phage Therapy", explores the use of bacteriophages (viruses that attack bacteria) for treatment of human bacterial infections. The essay was written as an independent study project under the supervision of Dr. Brian Merkel, Associate Professor of Human Biology. Jesse will be recognized at this year’s Cofrin Center for Biodiversity Student Research Symposium, scheduled for Tuesday, March 5, 2013 in the Christie Theatre of the University Union.
Congratulations to all of the NAS Science Scholarship recipients!
From freshmen to non-traditionals, transfers to international students, UW-Green Bay honored some of its top science and math scholars Friday, Feb. 1, presenting Natural and Applied Sciences scholarships worth nearly $16,000 to 16 students during an afternoon reception. Read more in the Log.
Only a few spots left for the Australia Travel Course
Join UW-Green Bay professors Dr. Amy Wolf and Dr. Robert Howe for an 18 day trip to visit ancient cloud forests, vast outback deserts, tropical rainforests, and the Great Barrier Reef. The focus will be on ecology and biodiversity and the class is open to students and community members. August 4-21, 2013.
Hey Students! We are looking for Volunteers!
Are you looking to gain valuable field or lab experience to build your resume? Or maybe you just want to be a citizen scientist and get outside? Check out our new "Volunteer Opportunities" website. It lists science related opportunities for students to help with research and management projects at the Copfrin Center for Biodiversity and in the Natural and Applied Sciences Department.
