Speaker: Taylor Cooper, PhD Student at Georgia Institute of Technology
Title: “Becoming a Biologist”
Abstract:  Taylor is a PhD student and NSF Graduate Research Fellow in the Stroud Lab at Georgia Tech; before Taylor began graduate school, she gained a wide variety of experience as an undergraduate and post-bac researcher—including work on diverse topics such as genomic disease risk scores in ancient humans, cognitive abilities in reptiles, the ecology of invasive crayfish and snakes, and the genomic basis of complex reproductive behaviors in cichlid fishes. She's a true polymath in biology! In the talk, Taylor describes her own career path and advice that she has for aspiring biologists.

The Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series focuses on biological topics at whole-organism and higher scales of organization. Guest speakers come from universities, governmental agencies, NGOs, zoos, museums, and other institutions.

This seminar series consists of a pre-recorded seminar, which will be posted to a playlist at the beginning of each week, and a live, virtual Q&A session with the speaker. All are welcome to attend! For access to the live Q&A session, interested attendees can email Dr. Todd Pierson to be granted access. The live Q&A session will be held each Thursday @ 9:30 AM.
