About this event
Speaker: Dr. William Booker, Computational Biologist @ Avalo Title: “Frogs to fiber: my path to evolving sustainable fabrics by pulling on threads” Abstract: Dr. William Booker is a Senior Machine Learning Data Scientist at Avalo. Before beginning this position, William earned his BS in Wildlife Science from the University of Georgia and his PhD in Biology from Florida State University. William's talk details his path through science—from studying frog conservation to genome evolution and polyploidization, and how he now applies these hard-earned bioinformatic and computational skills to the agricultural industry. The Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series focuses on biological topics at the scale of whole organisms, their ecology, and the evolutionary relationships among them. Guest speakers come from universities, governmental agencies, NGOs, zoos, museums, and other institutions. The EEBOB seminar is an opportunity to learn about career paths and research in the biology discipline and for students to engage with professionals in a wide variety of biology careers. This seminar series consists of a pre-recorded seminar, which will be posted to a playlist the beginning of each week, and a live, virtual Q&A session with the speaker. All are welcome to attend! To be granted access to the live Q&A session, interested attendees should email Dr. Todd Pierson. The live Q&A session will be held each Thursday at 9:35 AM.
