Faculty-Paper Match
During the 2013 Biology Symposium, we challenged Biology students and faculty alike to match the faculty member with a paper they authored. Ranging from the obvious to the obscure, the results for the match are below. A big thanks to Jes Coyle for setting this fun activity up and doing the relevant research!
