We are pleased to announce the 2nd annual Distinguished Visitor in Organismal Biology (2022). Not only will this visitor give a prominent lecture, but they will participate in a one-day retreat designed to promote community building and engagement with students and faculty from across campus (open to all!) spanning the breadth of organismal biology at Cornell. The visitor will be in Ithaca for about three days in autumn.

The theme is “organismal biology, integrating across traditional boundaries in ecology and evolution”. We are requesting nominations, especially for visitors that would bring diverse perspectives and experiences. To nominate a speaker, please visit this short form requesting the name, website, and very short justification for each Nominee.  You may make several nominations by clicking on the link again, and again… nominate away!!   Nominations are due by Feb 10th.

Everyone is encouraged to nominate a speaker who will address foundations of organismal biology!   https://cornell.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0f7wSI620MhJjcW
