Rory with CSU San Marcos colleagues talking science at Stone Brewing
Rory was invited to give a guest lecture on his current research for the students and faculty at CSU San Marcos. All of the students and faculty were incredibly welcoming and the work that they are doing at CSUSM is impressive. Among other strengths, they have a great animal physiology group and Rory had a blast nerding out about thermal limits, stress, niche models, and more (not to mention checking out the alligators in Dr. John Eme’s lab). Moreover, it was a mini Janzone reunion because Dr. Arun Sethuraman, one of Rory’s former labmates from the Janzen Lab at Iowa State, is an Assistant Professor at CSUSM. Arun’s lab is doing some really cool work developing population genomic methods and exploring the effects of competition on population genetic patterns. Hopefully we can get him to Fresno State soon!
