We are half way through the semester and its been busy with all kinds of exciting happenings in the lab<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, we welcome three new undergraduate researchers to the lab! Brice Hembree<\/strong> has joined our ongoing project on tropical lizard malaria. T’ariah Sprouls<\/strong> joined the lab and is starting a new WEEOLab project focused on tropical lizard microbiomes. Sam Wilson<\/strong> is working with graduate student Desi Wilson (no relation) to develop a project focused on local populations of Mediterranean house geckos Hemidactylus turcicus<\/em>. Learn more about them and their interests here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, the WEEOLab grad students have been doing some fantastic biodiversity centered outreach with some of the local schools. Check out a sampling of all the cool reptiles (feathered and not) that they brought to introduce to the students!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
