Hannah and Kaitlin joined several other Zoology program graduate students for the annual fall retreat at the University of Wisconsin’s Trout Lake research station a few weekends ago. Zoology graduate students are spread across campus in at least five different buildings, so the fall retreat is a great opportunity to meet other students, learn about the wide range of science going on in the department, and have break-out sessions about topics like teaching, outreach, and proposal writing.

Thumbs up for zoology! As you can see from the hats and mittens, it was a crisp morning out on the dock.

(Gratton Lab graduate students are in a few programs and departments, including Zoology, Entomology, and Agroecology.)
