Wilhelmine Key Lecture on Human GeneticsThis Key Lecture series is made possible by a bequest to the AGA from Dr. Wilhemine Key in support of the implementation of genetics for human welfare and improvement. Dr. Key earned her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1901, and taught at New Mexico Normal University and Belmont College before joining the faculty of Lombard College. Sewell Wright studied under her as a senior at Lombard. She later worked as a eugenics field worker, carrying out pedigree studies of pioneer families that had emigrated from Germany to Pennsylvania in the late 18th century. The 2007 Key Lecture will be presented by Sally Otto, from the University of British Columbia. She will be speaking on "The Causes of Evolution...in the Era of Genomics." Previous Key lecturers are:
