The recent edition of the University Gazette includes a story about new developments at the UNC Center for Galapagos Studies which is directed by Carolina Population Center Fellow Stephen J. Walsh. Walsh and other researchers of the UNC Center for Galapagos Studies have partnered with the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ) to expand their research, education and outreach efforts. Carlos F. Mena, a CPC predoctoral trainee alumnus, is a professor at USFQ and is the primary collaborator from USFQ. Walsh, Mena and many other researchers will meet in Chapel Hill in October to continue work on the initiative. There will be a public reception and seminar about this project on Oct. 14 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at UNC’s Fed Ex Global Education Center.
