Alana Firl talk today at #UCDavis 1:30 PM – From retinas to roots

Today there will be a talk by Alana Firl, one of the candidates for the new UC Davis “New Biology” post doctoral position –
http://biosci.ucdavis.edu/ecards/articles/bridging-fellowships.html.

Her talk will be on “Development of functional neural circuits in the retina” at 1:30 PM in LS1022.

In addition, and in a bit of a switch, she is proposing to do her post doctoral work on plant – microbe interactions (with myself and Sundar http://www-plb.ucdavis.edu/Labs/sundar/).  She will be discussing that proposed work briefly as well.

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis View all posts by Jonathan Eisen
