DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nCenter for the Environment\n\n\n\nLearn about the people\, places\, and processes that contribute to the rich environmental landscape at WashU. This curated series of lab and studio tours will highlight the various modes and methods of various disciplines across the Danforth Campus. \n\n\n\nThe crawl will consist of a progression of lab and studio open houses throughout the Danforth campus. Each stop will be approximately 15 minutes. \n\n\n\nThe crawl is open to all members of the WashU community and the public. \n\n\n\nPlease register below if you plan to join the full Crawl.

Lab isotope scientists\, archaeologists and archaeobotanists work closely to address questions about diet and nutrition\, palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironment. Some of our recent projects have included analysis of movement of ancient crops across the Eurasian continent\, climate variability in Africa\, human settlement of marginal environments on the Tibetan Plateau and the Negev desert\, and llama herding in Peru.  \n\n\n\n\n2:15-2:45pm - Penczykowski Lab \nHost: Rachel PenczykowskiLocation: McDonnell Hall 451-452 \n\n\n\nThe Penczykowski Lab studies the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases using plants and their fungal pathogens as our focal study organisms. Our current research focuses on effects of climate and urbanization on interactions between common weedy plants (Plantago spp.) and their powdery mildew pathogens. We use a combination of field-\, greenhouse-\, laboratory-\, and mathematical modeling-based approaches in our research. \n\n\n\n\n2:35-3:05pm -  Kathryn M. Buder Center for American Indian Studies \nHost: Pam Begay and Manasseh BegayLocation: Buder Circle \n\n\n\nThe Kathryn M. Buder Center for American Indian Studies empowers and prepares Native students for professional leadership in Native communities through social work education. The center’s mission is to become a premier program for the education of Native American Master of Social Work students to practice in tribal and urban settings. \n\n\n\n\n3:00-3:30pm - Sam Fox School Studios\nHost: College of Art and College of Architecture FacultyLocation: Weil 121/122 \n\n\n\nAs design professionals\, creativity is always central to our work in the Sam Fox School. Faculty from the College of Art and College of Architecture will share research in recycled and repurposed fabrics for fashion\, experiments in structural bamboo\, planning for a more equitable and sustainable future for St. Louis through urban design\, exploring the complexity of soils\, and student work informed by a home-made heliodon. \n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility: The crawl will cover roughly 1 mile and will include stairs and walking through indoor and outdoor spaces. In case of inclement weather\, organizers will email registered attendees with any updates\, changes\, or cancelations. \n\n\n\nThe crawl is part of Environmental Research & Creativity Week Feb. 24-28\, a series of events hosted by the WashU Center for the Environment and its partners to showcase the interdisciplinary environmental work at the university. \n\n\n\nLab & Studio Crawl registration\n\n\n\n[formidable id="8"]\n
