Join us for "Bark, beetles, and beyond: Sixteen years of adventure at the University of Minnesota" from Dr. Brian Aukema 🌳🪲!

The University of Minnesota has enjoyed a research, teaching, and outreach program in forest insect science since 1921, stewarded by Brian Aukema for the past 16 years.

In this exit seminar, he will share ten random vignettes from across his outreach, research, and teaching experiences, spanning the spectrum from serious to silly to sublime.

These stories will highlight his appreciation for a community that has helped launch many students now making their marks here and around the world.
