St. Louis Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Retreat

Today was the 5th annual SLEEC retreat at the Saint Louis Zoo. Presenters from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri Botanical Gardens, Saint Louis University, University of Missouri-St. Louis, and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville gave talks on a variety of fascinating topics. Talks ranged from evolution in Anolis lizards to the ecology of religious beliefs, even lessons learned from global whaling negotiations. For the event I presented a poster detailing my undergraduate work at the University of Arizona, a great opportunity to introduce my work to new colleagues.
