Thursday, March 14, Dr. Jill Manske of the Biology Department will be presenting in the O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library, Room 309, over Convo hour, from 12-1pm.
Dr. Manske received her Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota.
Professional Interests:
Her broad research interest centers on the intersection between immunology, infectious disease, and community health. Currently, Dr. Manske is collaborating with the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) on projects related to influenza, influenza vaccine and science policy.
In addition, she has an ongoing (three year) project performing surveillance of Borrelia burgdorfei, the Lyme disease agent, in small mammals at Macalester College’s Katherine Ordway Natural History Study. This project involves a field component (animal trapping) followed by PCR analysis of tissue samples for presence of the specific disease-causing agent.
Please note the room change from our typical location. We will be meeting in Room 309 instead of the O’Shaughnessy Room, Rm 108.
All students are invited to participate in discussion this Thursday, and every Thursday, at noon, in the library, Rm 108. For more information and weekly updates, visit The Telos Project Facebook group, follow us on Twitter, email TheTelosProjectUST@gmail.com, or visit our website:
