Sinopse

On this episode I'm joined by Dr. Heidi Bauer-Clapp, Assistant Director of Grants and Scholarships in the Office of Professional Development at UMass, and organizer of the 3 Minute Thesis competition where graduate students compete to share their research in a compelling 3 minute speech. Grad student finalists Lian Guo (Organismic and Evolutionary Biology) and Louis Colaruotolo (Food Science) join us to share their research. Lian shares her work studying how climate shifts affect populations of river herring, a food source for many species higher on the food chain. Louis shares his research into a new method for testing biodegradable food packages using light and green food dye. You can catch them both at the final 3 Minute Thesis competition at Jones Library in Amherst, MA on Saturday March 23 at 3 pm. Hampshire college student and comedian Gabe Sklan joins us again as co-host.
