Please join us once again for a Symons Series event on March 19th at 7:00 pm in Bagnani Hall, Traill College.
It shall be an exciting evening of sharing and learning. The Symons Seminar Series investigates how the humanities and sciences intersect and diverge. Presenters are assessed by a panel of peer judges over the course of the series until one presenter from humanities or sciences presents at the final event taking place in the spring - the Symons Gala!
Presenters:

Title: “Influence of climate change on shallow lakes in warm climate regions”
Prior to joining Trent, she worked as a Research Assistant in a collaborative project titled “Strengthening Community-Based Research for River Health and Climate Change Mitigation in Eastern Africa”.
