About this event

Alumni, parents, and friends of Whitman College are invited to meet and hear from Associate Professor of Biology and Paul Garrett Fellow, Dr. Arielle Cooley.

Professor Cooley's talk, Color patterns in plants & animals: Undergraduate research at Whitman, will walk through her research alongside students in her lab and classroom.

Arielle Cooley is a biologist interested in the evolutionary, developmental, and genetic origins of biological diversity. Her research focuses on how a group of South American monkeyflowers have evolved new flower color patterning traits. Dr. Cooley completed a Ph.D. at Duke University and a Ruth Kirschstein postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan, then joined Whitman College in 2012. She teaches a range of classes including Genetics, Evolution & Development, and Plant Physiology, and has trained over forty students in her research lab at Whitman.

Additionally, three current students, Sherwood scholars on their annual trip to meet with alumni in the New York area, will be in attendance and looking forward to meeting you.

Kindly RSVP by March 3, using this form.

For the safety of our guests, we are requiring that all attendees be fully vaccinated and boosted if eligible.
