About
Water connects us all — from the ocean biome to the systems that treat our wastewater to the mountain communities that depend on clean water. Join three UVM faculty for a conversation about water-related research that crosses disciplines but shares a common purpose: asking complex scientific questions that address urgent societal and environmental challenges. As part of National First-Gen Week, we’ll also explore the paths these first-generation faculty members took into research and scholarship — and the possibilities that research can open for all students.
Panelists:
Laura May-Collado, Ph.D. UVM Associate Professor, Department of Biology and affiliate, Gund Institute for EnvironmentMatthew Scarborough, Ph.D. UVM associate professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and faculty fellow, Gund Institute for EnvironmentBeverley Wemple, Ph.D. UVM professor, Department of Geography and Geosciences; faculty director, Water Resources Institute; faculty fellow, Gund Institute for EnvironmentJoin us in person.
