First PEG Mixer!
Thank you to everyone who came to our first mixer! There was a great turn out with close to 40 people and three fantastic talks!
Matthew Halley (Drexel):
New insights into the social evolution and behavior of Neotropical thrushes (genus Catharus)
Janne Pfeiffenberger (Temple):
Evolution of limb loss and it's effects on the locomotor performance in ghost crabs
Mitra Eghbal (UPenn)
Mutation rate evolution in rapidly adapting asexual mutator populations: An experimental study under both hard selection & soft selection.
We had so much fun getting to meet everyone at the BBQ that followed.
Penn was very excited to host this first event and we look forward to the future mixers next fall. Have a great summer!
