Brynne Ruotsalainen

Brynne is currently studying neuroscience at WSU-V while she finishes up the last of her associates in Biology from Clark College. Driven by a love for research, she is passionate about unraveling the mysteries of neural networks, cognitive functions, and the biological processes that underlie behavior and consciousness. With a strong commitment to advancing the field, Brynne is eager to contribute to groundbreaking discoveries and innovations in neuroscience. While in Dr. Rudman’s lab she is involved in conducting experiments focused on evolutionary and genetic rescue, with the main goal being learning and understanding evolutionary genetics and predicting population dynamics in response to environmental change.

When not in the lab or on campus, Brynne enjoys caring for her multitude of pets and indoor plants.
