The Sustainability Café on Monday, November 26th will feature Dr. Laura Harrington from Cornell University discussing “Climate change, globalization and emerging vector borne diseases.” The Sustainability Café will be held in Center for Natural Sciences Room 112 at 4:00PM in conjunction with the Environmental Seminar.

Dr. Laura Harrington is an associate professor of entomology at Cornell University. Her research focuses on the biology, ecology and behavior of mosquitoes that transmit human diseases. For the past 15 years, she has worked on the biology of mosquito vectors of dengue fever, West Nile virus and malaria. She has developed methods for studying blood feeding patterns, survival and longevity, mating behavior and feeding behavior of mosquitoes in both the laboratory and field.

This event is free and open to the public.
