Shifting into Summer: Dr. Quinn Webber Takes the Wheel

Welcome to Summer School! While the textbooks might be gathering dust, we’re just getting warmed up. In this special series, we’re hitting the academic highway to check out what other early career faculty in our department are up to.

Each guest brings two things to the table: a peek into their research and a tricky question to throw at Tim and Dan. Can our hosts stay on track, or will they take a wrong turn onto Uncertainty Boulevard?

But that’s not all, our guests also weigh in on the most important question of all: Who would win in a ridiculous head-to-head challenge—Tim or Dan?

This week’s trip features Dr. Quinn Webber, an Associate Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology, who joins us to share his research, test Tim and Dan’s knowledge, and, of course, settle the all-important debate: who would win in a ridiculous challenge?

Grab your sunglasses, roll the windows down, and join us for a summer road trip through science, one pit stop at a time. 🚗💨
