Spatial dynamics colloquium
The weekly spatial dynamics colloquium combines two different roles: (1) Topics in spatial ecology and evolution: These talks will follow a fairly standard research seminar format, except that speakers will present for only 30 minutes, with time allotted for discussion and with food and socializing afterwards. This biweekly aspect of the colloquium will include talks by outside academics, participating UF faculty, and - later in the program - talks by senior students. The colloquium will feature speakers from industry, government, and journalism discussing applied spatial problems and public communication, and faculty from underrepresented groups. (2) Science in context. The other half of the seminar will go beyond pure research to discuss the role of science in society, mentoring, communications, and ethics.
