New Faces

There are new faces in the lab for the Spring Semester. We welcome two new undergraduates, Angela Coccagna (Class of 2015, Marine Science & Sociology) and Christian Diliberto (Class of 2015, Biological Sciences and Marine Science)! Angela will be working on the evolution of phenotypic plasticity. Christian will be diving into the world of transcriptomics to identify genes that are involved in the phenotypic plasticity mechanism. Adam Christman is also joining us as a technician for the semester throwing our larvae into turbulence. Full introductions and pictures to come.

We also have new urchins in the lab to play with from the tropics to the frigid north.
Lytechinus variegatus variegatus, the variegated urchin (Florida Keys, Fla)
Lytechinus pictus, the painted urchin (Goleta, Cali)
Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis, the green urchin (Cape Cod, Mass)
