2000 in the FSU Biological Science History project
On February 15, Dr. Stanley H. Faeth, who received his Ph.D. at FSU in 1980 (Advisor, Daniel Simberloff), delivered the second Yerger Lecture. Despite a mix-up in room scheduling that meant he, his hosts, and his entire audience had to troop across campus to an anternative venue, Dr. Faeth met the challenge with good humor and gave a well-received lecture.
