The Finger Lakes Institute hosted its 7th Annual Finger Lakes Research Conference, with more than 60 attendees interested in learning about the ongoing scientific investigations of the Finger Lakes region.

In addition to specific times set aside for networking and interacting with presenters, the Finger Lakes Institute coordinated a panel discussion with Bruce Gilman, director of Muller Field Station and professor of environmental conservation at FLCC, Meghan Brown, assistant professor of biology at HWS, and Roxanna Johnston, of the City of Ithaca, to discuss management of invasive species and how to prioritize research and education efforts in the Finger Lakes region.
