Graduate Students:
Sydni Joubran: I am a Master's student pursuing research on the genetic differences between montane and prairie subspecies of Gunnison's prairie dogs. I have a Bachelor's of Science from the University of Michigan and experience in conservation of large game species in southern Africa as well as government research through the United States Geological Survey. I am interested in wildlife conservation and ecology and believe strongly in public outreach and education. In my free time I enjoy kayaking, hiking, and participating in community service events.
Prospective Graduate Students:
I am accepting new graduate students with the right fit. Masters' students may come into the lab to work on existing projects, but I expect PhD students to design their own dissertations (preferably working in one of my existing systems, but I can be convinced otherwise with a good project). I am eager to mentor students with interests in evolution, conservation, wildlife infectious disease, and related topics.
About you: You are highly motivated, hard-working and curious. You have experience in--or the desire to learn--genetic, genomic and bioinformatic techniques to understand evolution.

Gabrielle Atkinson: I am currently a junior pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Criminology. Although my career goals are undecided I am actively searching for a path that will allow me to explore my love for science and use my skills and experience to positively impact our society.
Jeanette Calarco: I am a senior pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology. My future career goal is to become a physician or researcher specializing in infectious diseases. I enjoy being out on the water, kayaking, and swimming, but I also love sleeping and being a couch potato.
