Visiting Assistant Professor of Biology Ashleigh Smythe was recently invited by students from Utica College’s Asa Gray Biological Society to give a lecture in their research seminar series. She presented a seminar titled “Neptune’s Nematodes: Searching for the Root of the Nematode Phylogeny in the Sea.” The talk described Smythe’s on-going research into the evolutionary relationships of free-living marine nematodes.
