Discovery Day 2019

Nearly 100 Princeton University seniors and graduate students will exhibit posters of their environmental-studies research during the Discovery Day 2019 hosted by the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI) and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at 11:30 a.m. Wed., May 8, in the Frick Chemistry Lab Atrium.

Now in its eighth year, Discovery Day is the culminating event for students in PEI’s Program in Environmental Studies, for EEB concentrators, and for students who received research support from PEI. Seniors present the methodologies and results of their senior-thesis research.

This year’s program will include a poetry reading and a film screening, both presented in the Edward C. Taylor Auditorium, Frick B02:

  • Helena Van Brande (Comparative Literature) will read poems from her thesis, “Let Us Calmly Be Grass: Environmental Poems by European Women,” beginning at 11:40 a.m. She will deliver two sessions of 20 minutes each, with different poems featured in each.
  • James Tralie (Geosciences) will screen his thesis film, “Seismology: A Documentary Film,” at 12:30, 12:50 and 1:05 p.m. Each showing of the 15-minute film will be followed by a five-minute discussion with the audience.
