While many college students spend their breaks on the beach and ski slope, Harvard undergrads frequently travel to exotic locations to conduct research in biology and geology. Join us for a presentation by three Harvard students about their recent travels.

Tim Treuer (Class of ’10) studies insect biodiversity in the tropics of Indonesia; Peter Hedman (’10) will talk about his trip studying and collecting rocks in Nevada’s Mojave desert; and Renata Cummins (’11) will describe the Harvard expedition to Italy in search of the famous geological site where scientists discovered evidence of the event that may have wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
