SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Understanding the speciation process through phenotypes\, genotypes\, and behavior
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.\n\nAbout this seminar: Stepfanie Aguillon is a broadly-trained evolutionary biologist interested in understanding the process of speciation in nature. Her research integrates genomic sequencing with behavioral ecology and organismal biology to unravel the mechanisms involved in the evolution of reproductive isolation. In particular\, she leverages natural hybridization—interbreeding between distinct taxa—in birds and fish to study mating decisions in action. Stepfanie will discuss her work in northern flickers focused on the evolution of color differences and her work in swordtail fish focused on the genomic consequences of female mate choice decisions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Needs of the Armenian Apostolic Church in the Context of Contemporary Political Processes and Social Modernization Trends
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This lecture will present findings from field research conducted at the Karekin I Educational Center\, Holy Etchmiadzin\, between March and August 2024. The study focused on assessing the needs of Armenian Apostolic Church communities\, both within Armenia and in the diaspora\, in close collaboration with Church leaders. Employing a mixed-methods approach that included a semi-standardized questionnaire survey and group discussions\, the research gathered valuable insights into the perspectives of Armenian Church representatives. The talk will explore how these leaders perceive the Church's role in addressing the needs of their communities and discuss potential strategies for enhancing the Church's responsiveness and effectiveness.\n   \n   Bio: Arthur V.
