Twenty-four students and faculty from the Department of Biology attended the Rochester Academy of Science’s 52nd Annual Fall Scientific Paper Session at St. John Fisher University on Saturday, Nov. 7. The presenters included a mix of undergraduate and graduate students, professors and amateur scientists from across western New York.
The day opened with the Dr. Lawrence J. King Memorial Lecture, delivered by wildlife biologist Dr. Gregory Cunningham. His keynote was titled “Life as a Field Biologist: Remote Places and Questions Worth Chasing.”
Oral presentations filled the late morning. After a lunch break, attendees moved to the Dr. Melvin Wentland Memorial Poster Session, and the day closed with concluding remarks and awards.
The session welcomes research across the basic and applied sciences, from anthropology, botany and chemistry to ecology, geology, physics, psychology and zoology. Undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty members are all encouraged to attend and present.
