Dave Weisrock and Anne receive NSF funding to study comparative speciation dynamics and phylogenetic reconstruction in salamander and lemurs — traversing the vertebrate Tree of Life to find common evolutionary trends!!!

Science doesn’t get any more fun than this!!


Erin receives $1,000 Grant-in-Aid from Duke Biology!

This grant will support her study entitled, “From form to function: characterizing gut colonization in lemurs.”


Cori will be interning for the United States Army Corps of Engineers’ Risk and Decision Science team this summer! – Congrats, Cori!!!

She will be focusing on studying community resilience using physical health as a proxy.
