January-February

Welcome to new lab members!

We are excited to welcome co-op Megha Prasad (MS student in Bioinformatics) and postdoc Maddie Armstrong to the lab!

Students start their senior thesis

Anna Eaton started her senior thesis, which will examine patterns of parentage in a large scale field experiment

Eshna started their senior thesis, which will examine patterns of pea crab infection across different oyster genotypes

Dr. Lotterhos voted onto American Genetic Association Council

The AGA is one of the oldest genetic societies in the US and has a complex history dating back to eugenic research in the early 1900s. Today, their mission is centered on advancing organismal genetics and genomics research, and promoting the application of genetic and genomic methods to understand, document, conserve, and manage biological diversity. Katie will serve on the AGA Council through 2029 and shares AGA's commitment to advance their mission with the most inclusive and diverse community possible.
