Biological Sciences Colloquium: Battle of the Organisms!

This week, colloquium will feature the third annual Battle of the Organisms, hosted by PhD candidate Madi Rittinger.  The description is as follows:

Members of the Biological Sciences Labs will create brief presentations about why their study organism/system is the best of the best. What makes an organism the best? It could be that it’s adorable, has outrageously cool facts, or perhaps it has the most important implications. After hearing from the contenders, the audience will vote on the overall best organism. Points will be awarded for various categories spanning the organism itself as well as the quality of the presentation. The winner of the best organism will receive perhaps the most invaluable prize — bragging rights until the next battle.
