I'm super stoked to announce that I will be starting my own lab in January at Clemson University in the department of Biological Sciences! If you're interested in working on seasonal plasticity in butterflies and moths, feel free to contact me!

Would be interesting to see if there are any non coding rnas - possible genetic targets!
