Part of the Women in STEM series. Susan Wessler is President's Chair and Distinguished Professor of Genetics, University of California, Riverside. A reception will precede the lecture at 3:30 p.m. in the MU Sun Room.

Susan Wessler is a molecular geneticist known for her contributions to the field of transposon biology, specifically on the roles of plant transposable elements in gene and genome evolution. Her laboratory has pioneered the use of computational and experimental analyses in the identification of actively transposing elements. She is home secretary of the National Academy of Sciences.
