Have you ever been hangry? You know, a little hungry and therefore a little angry. Maybe when you’re hangry, you are more likely to lash out at a friend, eat copious amounts of junk food, continue to not eat, or make other poor decisions.
Join UP Biology Professor Molly Matty as she discusses her research with the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans and shares the awesome work being done by undergraduate students at the University of Portland to uncover and define the specific bacterial species that modulate decision-making in populations of C. elegans. Come hungry to learn!
Thursday, Feb 29, 7:00 p.m. – Brian Doyle Auditorium, Dundon-Berchtold Hall
The lecture is an invited presentation for the Sigma Xi Scientific honors society and is free and open to the public.
