Dr. Rachael
Bay
Rachael Bay Ph.D. leads a group of researchers at The Bay Lab, which aims to gain insights into how organisms survive in environments and how anthropogenic environmental changes impact individuals, populations, and species. She is particularly interested in coral reefs to see how they respond to the pace of climate change by combining a broad geographical perspective with a deep cross-population and cross-species evolutionary approach.

"...evolution does not have to be a long, slow process, and in some cases, evolutionary changes can happen very quickly. In this talk, we will discuss the evolutionary consequences of climate change and how organisms do (or don’t) adapt to their ever-changing environmental conditions."

2023 Darwin Day
of Science
"Charles Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist widely known for contributing to the understanding of evolutionary biology. His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental concept in science."
