Faculty at Home returns in Fall 2026!
Join Middlebury’s expert and engaging faculty members for interactive talks—from home.
Faculty at Home extends Middlebury’s academic reach to our community around the world. This webinar series invites you to engage in the digital space, to stay connected with faculty members, with big ideas, and with each other.
Moderated by Sarah Stroup, professor of political science, and Bert Johnson, professor of political science, this series stimulates thought-provoking online conversations for the benefit of the Middlebury community far and wide. Faculty at Home is supported by numerous offices at Middlebury including the Office of the Provost, Advancement, Media Services, and Communications.
Generally, we open up the webinar 5 – 10 minutes ahead of the start time. This offers attendees the chance to let everyone know (via Zoom chat) that they are present and where they are joining from. Zoom settings only allow attendees to see the chat activity from the time they log in, so if you’d like to say hello, consider logging in early.
Recordings are posted about two weeks after the live event.

Please join Assistant Professor of Neuroscience Clinton Cave for a talk entitled “From One Cell to Two: Understanding neurodevelopment at the genetic level.”
Successful embryonic development depends on signaling between dividing cells called progenitors. My laboratory studies the signaling pathways used by progenitors in the nervous system. Using new genetic tools, our work aims to provide preclinical insights into the function of a family of signaling proteins called Glycerophosphodiester Phosphodiesterases (GDEs).
