Event Details
Many people might envision an evolutionary biologist as a bearded Victorian scientist who analyzes dusty fossils and museum collections. The field of evolutionary biology has modernized over the decades and now many researchers use technology to actually watch evolution in action. Dr. Meyer will discuss compelling results from the new field of experimental evolution including one from his lab where researchers watched new species of microbes evolve in test tubes.
