Rokas to lead budding cross-disciplinary collaboration on evolutionary studies
The Vanderbilt Evolutionary Studies Initiative is now official! The Initiative seeks to position the university as a global leader in evolutionary studies by engaging a large group of scholars who share this research-based interest. The program will also provide students and the community multiple opportunities to learn about the role of evolutionary principles and approaches in understanding our world. The Initiative willl be directed by Antonis Rokas, who holds the Cornelius Vanderbilt Chair in Biological Sciences.
