- Congratulation to Zach for an EECG Research AwardZach has received a 2024 Evolutionary, Ecological, and Conservation Genomics (EECG) Research Award ($6,000) from the American Genetics Association for his project “Unveiling the mysteries of fog lichens: Phylogenomic insights into the phenotypic diversity of a niche-specific radiation. Congratulations!Posted on March 15, 2024
- Congratulations to Crystal awarded a SURF 2024Crystal (Zhu) was awarded a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship from the UConn Office of Undergraduate Research for her project “More than meets the eye: Unveiling the diversity of lichen-forming fungal species in Chile using DNA barcoding”. The project focuses on Lobarioideae (Peltigerales) and primarily the genus Pseudocyphellaria. The award consists of a stipend and funds […]Posted on March 8, 2024
