Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere

The UF Fulbright Lecture Committee and the International Center are pleased to invite you to An Evening with Pam & Doug Soltis: Building, Using and Teaching the Tree of Life.

Pamela and Douglas Soltis are distinguished professors at the Florida Museum of Natural History. Drs. Soltis are principal investigators in the UF Laboratory of Molecular Systematics & Evolutionary Genetics (Soltis Lab,) as well as contributing authors of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. They are major contributors to the development of the Tree of Life, an online phylogenetic taxonomy project including 2.3 million species. The Tree of Life can help researchers cure diseases, develop medicines, improve agricultural crops and predict how plants and animals are going to move in response to climate change.
