Research Assistant
Lynn McGreevy

After graduating from Haskell Indian Nations University, Lynn worked with us through the NSF-funded PREP program. Lynn worked on a Sulawesi swamp frog phylogeography project and had the highest cycle sequencing success rate of anyone in the lab. She left us for greener pastures in Alaska...and our Big Dye fees have skyrocketted ever since.
