Ecology Center Seminar with Dr. Noah Fierer
Conference/Seminar
The Ecology Center is excited to announce our first speaker of the Spring '26 semester: Dr. Noah Fierer from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
University of Colorado at Boulder.
Dr. Fierer will be presenting two seminars. Please note that the Wednesday seminar will now take place at 12:30 PM in ENGR 101, while the Thursday seminar will remain in BNR 102 at 4 PM.
Wednesday, 1/21: "Never invited to the feast: The ecology of oligotrophic soil bacteria"
Thursday, 1/22: "What 'macro'-bial ecologists can learn from microbial ecologists (and vice versa)"
About Dr. Fierer:
I am a microbial ecologist, and my research group focuses on microbes living in a range of environments, including those bacteria and fungi living inside our homes, in soil, on plants, and in the atmosphere. We use various approaches, including DNA sequencing and high-throughput cultivation, to explore the diversity and structure of microbial communities, build a trait-based understanding of microbial life, and examine how microorganisms influence the health of ecosystems, plants, and animals (including humans).
WNR Spring Semester Book Club - First Meeting
Student Activities
The Wildflowers in Natural Resources Club (WNR) is hosting a book club during Spring 2026! This semester, we will be reading Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, an environmental classic that influenced public perception of ecosystem degradation and vastly altered federal environmental law. For our first meeting, NO BOOK will be required. We will discuss Rachel Carson and decide what time to meet for the rest of the semester. Moving forward, we will meet once every other week to discuss readings. Open to all undergraduate and graduate students. See you there!

LAEP Speaker Series with Carlos Licon: Lost in Translation
Lecture/Readings
LAEP's Speaker Series is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the design of places and systems that shape our world. Anyone interested in how his or her life and career might be enhanced through learning about planning and design will enjoy attending. Students from Art, Graphic Design, Performance Art, Engineering, Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, and Outdoor Product Development and Design are likely to be enlightened by this series.
Carlos Licon is an Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director for Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning.
About the Lecture:
How do landscape architects find their place among architects, planners, engineers, and other allied professions? This talk traces a journey of learning across disciplines—from architecture to environmental planning—and reflects on how these experiences have shaped the way I think about design, responsibility, and collaboration. By looking into the different worldviews and priorities that guide each profession, the talk invites to imagine new ways of working together. Ultimately, it asks how greater cross-disciplinary understanding can help future designers create more responsive, equitable, and resilient communities.

LAEP Speaker Series: Quint and Matthew Redmond, Agriburbia: Building the Infrastructure for the Next Generation
Lecture/Readings
About the Lecture:
Agriburbia is a land use concept ( and the name of our company) based ont he principal that many of the food, energy, water, and health problems we currently face as a human population can be directly addressed by moving the point of production of our food to as close to point of its consumption as possible. Intentional design incorporating a food as piece of infrastructure will be critical moving forward to create a more sustainable planet and human population. We will look at some of the adverse macro trends we face today and how we can leverage good design with new technologies to create real 'human habitat.'
