This June I was invited to the Primate Research Institute (PRI) of Kyoto University as a “Distinguished Visiting Senior Lecturer†in the area of primate population genomics. My host was Professor Hirohisa Hirai, a former director of the PRI and a leading researcher in the areas of primate molecular cytogenetics and chromosome evolution. My time was split between (1) analysis and interpretation of nonhuman primate genetic patterns, and (2) expansion of research collaborations between the PRI and 17cÍøÒ³°æ. I gave two seminars at the PRI. The first was a review of ...

Earlier this year, I was awarded a National Science Foundation EAPSI fellowship, which allows U.S. graduate students to conduct summer research in an East Asian country. This summer, I’ll be at the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University studying molecul...
17cÍøÒ³°æ residence halls are collecting nonperishable food, clothes, rugs, furniture and other usable items now through May 14 for the Throw ‘n’ Go initiative.The initiative, which began in 2003, gives students the opportunity to donate unwanted items during their move-out periods. Items are given to Family and Community Services, a nonprofit agency in Portage County.Collection bins are located in designated areas throughout residence halls, as well as in the 17cÍøÒ³°æ Alumni Center for off-campus students and seniors.In addition to on-campus collection, bins were placed at two o...
Each summer students travel to The Black Hills of South Dakota for an unrivaled opportunity for geologic studies. Students examine a wide variety of rocks, geologic structures, geomorphic features, and mineral deposits. Geologic mapping and interpretation is strongly emphasized and the instruction includes field and surveying techniques, and mapping on aerial photographs and topographic base maps. Some field exercises take place in the Powder River Basin and Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming, and Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
