🍽️💚 Hey CSU Ramily, can you help us bring back Biology Graduate Community Lunches?! 💸 We’re trying to raise $2,500 to bring them back, and every little bit helps. If you want to support CSU Biology grad students, you can donate here: col.st/qjvh6 🎃 The campaign runs through October 31. Reach out to our grad reps for more details! 🐰 Zoë D'Agostino: sophia.dagostino@colostate.edu 🐯 Asha Fry: asha.fry@colostate.edu 🌱 Dylan Moss: dylan.moss2@colostate.edu These lunches are such a good way for Biology grad students to actually pause, eat, and connect with each other in the middle of a busy week. They make a huge difference by building community, offering support throughout the semester, and giving students a place to breathe — and we really want to keep that going. Thanks for helping us keep this space alive for our grad community 🐏💚 . . . #CSUBio #GradLife #StudentCommunity #SupportStudents #ColoState #BiologyGradStudents #FortCollins #GiveBack #CollegeCommunity #DonateToday #Donate Grad students gathered in the grad student lounge enjoying pizza and fussball

📚🔬 BIO Seminar Alert! Join us for “The Making of a Biologist: Facilitating the Transition from Student to Scholar” with Dr. Jennifer Neuwald and Dr. Michael Shavlik on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 4:00 PM in Biology 136. This talk looks at how students move beyond memorizing biology content and start thinking like scientists — with a focus on critical thinking, self-regulation, study strategies, digital literacy, and the transition to college-level learning. If you’re interested in biology education, student success, or what it takes to become a biologist, this is a great seminar to catch. 📜 Abstract: col.st/jad87 📅 Seminars: col.st/pmxdF Hosted by Dr. DeeDee Wright, Assistant Professor of Experiential Education and Assistant Professor of Biology Free event! Light refreshments available while supplies last. . . . #CSUBiology #BiologySeminar #StudentSuccess #BiologyEducation #CollegeLearning #ScienceCommunity #GraduateStudents #UndergraduateStudents #CSU #FortCollins Dr. Jennifer Neuwald (left) and Dr. Michael Shavlik (right) casually stand side by side leaning against each other with arms crossed and smiling.

🌊🐾 Grads in Biology Student Spotlight: Sarah Kerr! Meet Sarah Kerr, a PhD candidate in the Williams Lab studying marine mammal ecology. Sarah’s dissertation uses machine learning and biologging data to classify behaviors in northern fur seals and explore how individual differences in foraging behavior may relate to reproductive success. Before coming to CSU, Sarah earned her MS studying the biomechanical energetics of California sea lions and researched population demographics in northern elephant seals. We love celebrating the amazing graduate researchers who bring curiosity, skill, and energy to CSU Biology — and Sarah’s work is a perfect example of science that’s both rigorous and incredibly cool. 🌟 . . . #CSUBiology #GradsInBiology #StudentSpotlight #MarineMammals #Ecology #MarineBiology #GraduateStudent #CSU #ScienceCommunity #FortCollins Sarah Kerr stands on a rocky shoreline near the ocean, smiling while holding a young fur seal during field research. She is wearing yellow waterproof overalls, gloves, and outdoor gear, with the sea and overcast sky in the background, illustrating her marine mammal fieldwork.
