In a podcast hosted by Kathleen Durkin and Devin Powell from the ZMBBI, Darcy chats with them and other faculty and students about what preparation for this upcoming academic year looks like during the pandemic.
Darcy visited Cornell's Department of Neurobiology and Behavior virtually August 27th, 2020 to give a seminar: "Comparative neuromics; convergence and divergence in neural circuit elements for vocal communication".
We are very excited to hear that our alumnus, Paul Copeland, will be joining Dr. Shawn Liu's lab at CUIMC as a research assistant! We are so proud and looking forward to hearing about his work.
Vivian, Shemar, and Erica inaugurate R&D: Research and Diversity to bring undergraduates together with scientists to explore career paths, challenges and successes in expanding the range of talent needed to tackle fascinating and difficult problems through research.
The first Zoom interview event will be hosted on August 18th, 5pm EST, featuring Dr. Aaron Kyle, PhD.
