I'm a professor in the Biology Department at Davidson College and I manage this lab! I teach introductory biology (with lab), biostatistics, and evolutionary ecology, and Plant Adaptations (with lab).
Will Newman, 23' Independent Study and thesis student
Will is conducting an experiment to measure how extreme heat events experienced at different points of the life cycle affect growth and development in Brassica rapa.
Will is an outdoor enthusiast and spent last summer working as a fishing guide.
Annabel Lewis, 23' Independent Study student
Annabel is developing microscopy protocols for examining pollen tube growth.
I am a senior from Colorado Springs, Colorado majoring in Biology with a Hispanic Studies minor. I enjoy reading, singing, and being outdoors with my family.
Nadine Shannon, 24' Independent Study student 2022 and Research in in Science Experience (RISE) scholar 2021
Nadine is collaborating with lab members Selena and Elisa to evalutate phenotypic selection and adaptive evolution in a synthetic population of maize (SynAdapt).
You!!
If you are interested in conducting research in the lab, email Susana to schedule a time to chat.
