Joan Ehrenfeld: Current Research Findings From
Alumni of Dr. Ehrenfeld’s Laboratory
Exhibit Hall DE, Oregon Convention Center
Organized by: E Stander (estander@usaid.gov), L Windham-Myers
As a companion to the symposium in memory of Dr. Joan Ehrenfeld,
this organized poster session highlights the current work of Dr.
Ehrenfeld’s former advisees and is a venue for alumni to reflect on
Dr. Ehrenfeld’s influence on their professional and personal lives and
pay tribute to their former mentor.
