Three experts from across campus will each discuss their work related to Invasive Species
and respond to questions from attendees during the FunkPanel2026. Their work focuses
on Illinois invasive species issues with an emphasis on management and prevention;
threats to Illinois agriculture, forestry and the environment; as well as ongoing research
on biological invasions. This in-person and online panel presentation
will be an opportunity for people to come together with the Funk ACES Library
to learn about and discuss Invasive Species research and initiatives led by
members of our campus community.
We invite you to attend the panel in-person on the 2nd floor of the Funk ACES Library
for an opportunity to talk with the panelists and other attendees during the 30-minute
reception following the presentation. Also, for in-person attendees, we will have a raffle
for two books related to Invasive Species. We are providing a Zoom option for
virtual attendees.
Panelists:
Karla Griesbaum, Extension Educator, Natural Resources, Environment, & Energy
Kelly Estes, State Survey Coordinator, Illinois Natural History Survey
Andy Suarez, Professor, Integrative Biology
