Agrawal's work has received wide acclaim. Agrawal's research program explores the ecology and evolution of interactions between plants and animals with particular focus on the antagonistic interactions between plants and insect herbivores. Agrawal joined the faculty at Cornell in 2004, where he teaches both undergraduate and graduate level courses in field ecology, chemical ecology, community ecology, and plant-insect interactions. After his postdoc work at the University of Amsterdam and a faculty appointment at University of Toronto's Department of Botany, Dr.
Agrawal received his BA and MA degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and his PhD in population biology from the University of California, Davis. So it's now my pleasure to introduce our speaker today, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Anurag Agrawal. So if, at the end of the talk or during the talk, you're inspired to go buy a book, you can find them in the back. And Mary died a couple months ago over the winter, so we're missing her a lot and wanted to just let those of you who knew Mary know that she's one of the big supporters of this program.Īnd last but not least, our friends from Buffalo Street Books are in the back of the room. And she endowed the Mary Morrison Public Education Fund, which helps us support these programs. She was a great friend of Mann Library and a wonderful professor here at Cornell. Some of you may have known Professor Mary Morrison.
I'd like to take a minute also to remember a good friend of Mann Library. So there's a sign-up sheet on the back table. You can also sign up for alerts from us if you want to make sure you hear about our programs. We're having an Earth Day Film Festival here in this room on April 21st, so another event to watch for. Catesby scheduled for April 26.Īnd then also, there's some information on the back table. We have a new exhibit in the lobby that focuses on the early 18th century botanist Mark Catesby, which just opened, and you'll see it on your way out. And welcome to our Chats in the Stacks talk today. MARY OCHS: Thanks for coming, everybody, today. SPEAKER: This is a production of Cornell University Library.
