41st Annual Albert L. Tester Memorial Symposium
April 6, 12:30pm - 5:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Campus Center Ballroom
Wednesday, April 6, marks the opening of the Tester symposium celebrating student research at the University of Hawai脢禄i at M脛聛noa. Each year science graduate students display their original research from fields including biology, marine sciences, medicine, geology and geography. Students compete for best paper and best poster awards.
This year芒鈧劉s distinguished invited speaker is Professor Dolph Schluter, from the University of British Columbia. Dr. Schluter is famous for his work on adaptive radiations (such as Darwin芒鈧劉s finches) and understanding how and why new species come to be. His research is particularly interesting in Hawai脢禄i, the world芒鈧劉s greatest hotbed for adaptive radiations such as Hawaiian drosophila (fruit flies), Hawaiian honeycreepers (birds), and Hawaiian silverswords (plants).
Dr. Schluter will be giving two talks:
Distinguished Visitor's Address: 芒鈧揋enetic insights into speciation by natural selection芒鈧 Wednesday April 6th 4-5pm, Campus Center Ballroom.
Keynote Lecture: 芒鈧揟he origin of species and the latitudinal biodiversity gradient芒鈧 Friday April 8th 4-5pm Biomed 103B.
The annual symposium was created in 1974 in honor of the late Professor Albert Tester芒鈧劉s lifelong encouragement of student research while Professor of Zoology at UH M脛聛noa.
All talks are open to the public. The symposium opens Wednesday at 12:30pm and runs until Friday at 5pm in the Campus Center Ballroom, culminating in an awards banquet on Saturday evening at Waikiki Aquarium.
