Will Driscoll from the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at the University of Arizona will present... topic to be determined.
Will received his B.S. in Geology here at The College of Wooster in 2005 and his Ph.D. from the University of Arizona in 2012.
Will’s current research includes theoretical and empirical approaches to understanding the interplay between diffusion rates, neighborhood size, and the evolution of the production of extracellular, beneficial metabolites in bacteria.
Other areas of his work focus on the toxic, unicellular, mixotrophic haptophyte Prymnesium parvum. P. parvum is an invasive pest in inland waterways in several U.S. states, including Texas, where it has caused an estimated $13 million in damage through fish kills, water fouling, and remedial action.
