Forensic Anthropology & The Art of Making the Dead tell their Tales - Solving a 3,000 year old Mystery
McCardell Bicentennial Hall 216
Public Lecture: The Fats of Life - The Metabolic Origins of Neurodegeneration
Bio: Dr Corthalis is an associated professor and multidisciplinary researcher with a broad and extensive background in biomedical science and biological/forensic anthropology. This expertise is unique and encompasses a wide range of research areas, with a specific focus on the critical connection between neurodegeneration, cell stressors, and the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids.

This is a talk on “human-forest mutualisms” exemplified by small-scale, forest conservation efforts in Mexico’s Yucatán. These efforts link conservation of globally-important forest ecosystems with production of natural, non-timber, forest products (vanilla and honey) that can help support local communities involved in conservation.
Robert A. Jones '59 Conference Room
All are welcome to attend poster presentations as the culmination of the 2026 Limno-STOICH Database Conference supported by midd.data and the National Science Foundation. Aquatic ecologists from a range of institutions and Middlebury College students enrolled in BIOL 304 Aquatic Ecology will present on database-driven research they have done related to the field of ecological stoichiometry in aquatic ecosystems. Light refreshments will be provided.
