Hal Terry is a third-year Ph.D candidate in the Ledón-Rettig lab studying the evolutionary consequences of early life conditions. To answer this, he uses a combination of field work, morphological analyses, and behaviors for intraspecific & interspecific comparisons among frogs.

Ashish is a first-year grad student in the Phillips lab and is interested in the role microbes play in tree community assembly and how this relationship scales up to influence ecosystem functioning. He’ll spend the next couple of months understanding how mycorrhizal dominance in forests will influence forest-level productivity.

Atalanta is a second-year Ph.D student in the Rosvall lab and NSF Graduate Research Fellow. Her research combines field, molecular, and bioinformatic approaches to investigate behavioral and physiological mechanisms of heat tolerance in wild tree swallows.
