EEBlog: Primordial soup

A random collection of experiences, ponderings, ideas and more from graduate students in ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Michigan designed to inform and entertain.

Prospective and current graduate students are invited to post comments and ask questions. In fact, it's an open forum to anyone who is interested.

Sarah Cobey

Sarah was a fourth-year Ph.D. student in ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Michigan when she wrote her blog. Her thesis is on the dynamics of influenza. She's lived in California, New Jersey, and Lao PDR. She doesn't do winters, but she's a sucker for a good research climate. She's currently a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Professor Mercedes Pascual.

Leah Boris
Leah graduated with her master's degree in August from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan. This summer she'll be a program coordinator at the Gallup Park Day Camp in Ann Arbor. In the fall of 2008 she will be a naturalist educator intern at the River Bend Nature Center in Faribault, Minn. Originally from Seattle, she now braves cold winters, hot summers, and mosquitoes to research wetland food webs in the wilds of rural Michigan.
