Welcome to the latest Sully Asks A Scientist (SAAS for short)!
As a quick reminder, these SAAS guest blog posts will feature a Q&A format that will hopefully allow you to learn about who these scientists are as people. I'll also be sure to incorporate plenty of links for you to have quick and easy access to social media profiles, websites, articles, and other means of finding out more about each guest's research. Please leave some comments and let me know if there are other questions you'd like answered, or scientists you'd be keen on reading about. Enjoy!

What is your elevator pitch? AKA what do you do/study?
I am interested in using evolutionary and population genetics to learn about how humans have both changed and remained the same in response to differing environments and changing cultures. My interests also encompass hypothesis-based inquiries into the convergent evolution of genetically distinct populations. I am currently using a computational approach to study human sexual dimorphism.
As a part of an REU program at Kansas State University, I developed a hands-on outreach activity about my research and interacted with public audiences through Science Saturday at the Sunset Zoo, a Portal to the Public institution.

I recently presented my summer REU research with Poecilia fishes
and won a poster presentation award at the 2017 Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) in Phoenix, Arizona. |
