Researcher Kim Scribner of the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Michigan State University, will be the guest speaker next Friday, Feb. 20, at 3 p.m. in Environmental Sciences Room 301 as part of the Natural and Applied Sciences Seminar Series. The title of his talk is “Long-lived iteroparous species, ecological, demographic and genetic complexity: Acquisition, management and analytical challenges associated with big data.” More simply put: They’ve spent a long time and collected a truckload of data on the very old sturgeon living in Black Lake, Mich… and longitudinal research takes on added complexity when you’re studying sturgeon rather than, say, fruit flies. A social follows at 4 p.m.
Next NAS Seminar? We think it’s about ‘big data’… and fish
