Hi everyone,

Join us next Monday April 11 at 6:30pm PT for our next speaker Andrew Gottscho, who is currently a Sr. Manager at 10x Genomics, Adjunct Faculty at Merritt College, and a Research Associate at the Smithsonian Institution. The title of his talk will be San Andreas: a herpetological and biogeographic journey. In his words, his talk will cover 1) a photo slideshow of the San andreas fault system north to south, highlighting herps and other vertebrates; 2) a literature review of phylogeography of the san andreas fault, again focused on animals but highlighting herps specifically; 3) a sneak peak at some unpublished data on Callisaurus and Phrynosoma.

Andrew will be here in person on Monday but his talk will also be live-streamed on zoom.
