Dr. Carol C. Horvitz, Department of Biology Dr. Horvitz’s lecture, entitled “Tropical Plant Populations: New Insights about Aging and Ecology in a Random World” will discuss how transitions of individuals among different stages and environments during the life-cycle determine the age pattern of mortality in plants. These studies suggest a new way to understand the observed leveling-off of death rates at old ages in humans.

Nelson. This lecture series is a fitting tribute to Dr. Nelson who found chemistry to be his favorite subject and always "loved to learn". The first lecture of this series is presented by Prof. Luis Echegoyen, a distinguished faculty alumni of our department.
