Fall Honors Presentations
As part of the Biology Honors program, students give a presentation on their honors project and the research they have been doing during the summer. Presentations are scheduled over three Mondays in the fall, September 16th, 23rd, and 30th, during the regular Biology seminar slot: Monday 4:00 PM in Kirkpatrick Lecture Hall (A011). All Biology students are encouraged to attend to support their peers, and attendance is mandatory for senior Biology majors. The schedule for presentations appears below:
Monday September 16th

Smarty Plants: How Green Organisms Use Mechanosensitive Ion Channels to Sense and Respond to Physical Forces
My research group aims to identify the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which cells sense and respond to physical forces. We are studying the structure, function, regulation, and evolution of mechanosensitive ion channels in the green lineage, using molecular genetics, single-channel patch clamp electrophysiology, live-imaging, and computational modeling approaches. We are also engaged in functional and genetic screens designed to identify novel mechanosensory proteins, and in the development of new tools for the non-invasive analysis of membrane forces.
