My Background

I earned my Ph.D. at the University of South Carolina's Department of Biological Sciences in 1995. My background is in Ecology, Evolution, and Organismic Biology (EEOB), and I have also been trained in various aspects of molecular biology (DNA isolation, PCR, RFLP analysis, etc). My dissertation research involved analysis of the effects of interspecific hybridization and inbreeding on developmental stability of deermouse species. My advisor was Dr. Wallace D.
