“Sensory systems to self-driving cars: science at the intersection of mechanism, theory, and opportunity.”

“Bioinspiration” can be defined as the development of novel materials, devices, and strategies inspired by examples found in biological systems. In this presentation, Dr. Schweikert will tell stories about the little-known sensory capabilities of marine animals, how different senses permit survival in the marine world, and what we might stand to gain from their study.

Alexa Duchesneau will deliver the final talk in the Anthropology J-term Speaker Series. Optimal nutrition is important to the survival and reproduction of many species, especially those requiring: a) long periods of development and b) those living in unpredictable nutritional landscapes. The white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus) of Costa Rica, fulfill both of these criteria and are useful models for investigating the relationships between nutrition, life history and climate change.

Connect with Midd alums at the Biology Field Guide. 

Presented by the Center for Careers and Internships and cosponsored by the Biology Department, this Field Guide brings alumni back to campus to share knowledge and experience related to their post-Middlebury careers and professional lives with current students. 

On Thursday alumni join us for a panel discussion. Friday morning, our alumni guests have volunteered to hold one-on-one chats with students (Sign up in Handshake)
