Eight Ohio State Mansfield faculty members will present their research at the annual Community Research Frenzy on Oct. 8 at the Mansfield Richland County Public Library.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will feature seven-minute presentations on a variety of topics, including biology, social science, art, language and culture, according to a community announcement.

“The Research Frenzy is an event we host every year to share our latest research with the community,” said Amy Brunell, associate dean for faculty enrichment at Ohio State and this year’s Frenzy organizer. “Similar to a TED talk, participants highlight their research but only have a few minutes to do so before moving onto the next presenter.”

Carol Landry, associate professor in the Department of Evolution, Ecology & Organismal Biology, will discuss her work investigating the nesting habits of Megachile alleni on San Salvador Island, The Bahamas.
