Lisa L. Walsh
I'm a USDA Postdoctoral Fellow in the Education Research & Outreach Lab at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center where I'm studying how to improve the recruitment and retainment of undergraduate students in Agricultural Science. I earned my PhD conducting research in Priscilla Tucker's lab at the University of Michigan's Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. For my PhD thesis, I evaluated putative evolutionary and ecological factors driving the Virginia opossum's on-going range expansion northward.
