Homecoming for Discovery

Jeff Barrick is returning to Michigan State University as a Hannah Distinguished Professor in ENT and MGI. Barrick’s arrival marks not only a personal homecoming, but also the return of one of the most influential experiments in evolutionary biology: the Long-Term Evolution Experiment, or LTEE.

The LTEE is a landmark scientific project launched by Barrick’s postdoctoral advisor, Rich Lenski, a Hannah Distinguished Professor in both MGI and the department of Integrative Biology, in 1988
