Honors Student Presentation
It’s time for the 4th annual Biology Department Photo/Art Contest! We invite members of our community (broadly-defined) to share photos of biologists and organisms in action, interesting micrographs, or Biology-themed works of art.
Rats have lived alongside us in cities for centuries. We don’t like them, and they’re not good for us — but we don’t know what to do about them. UR’s urban ecologist and biology professor, and his students are on the case.
John Peters, a biology professor at the University of Richmond, has received a $502,981 National Science Foundation award to support his neuroscience research on the mechanisms of learning and memory.
