Biology Professor to Speak about Fish

Dr. Marosh Furimsky, Westminster College assistant professor of biology, will present "What Use is a Fish?" at Faires Faculty Forum on Wednesday, March 12, at 11:40 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater in the McKelvey Campus Center.

Furimsky will deliver an overview of fish diversity, their economic importance, and their role as model organisms in studies of aquatic toxicology and human disease.

Faculty Forum was established in 1990 by Dr. Barbara Faires, Westminster professor of mathematics, during her term as Dean of the College and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Faculty members from all disciplines volunteer to present lectures on their current research, artistic productions, and/or scholarship of teaching and learning. Each forum presents new ideas with innovative lecture techniques.

Furimsky, who has been with Westminster since 2006, earned an undergraduate degree and Ph.D. from the University of Ottawa.
