Martha is the Director of the Genetics & Genomics Scholars graduate program and an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at NC State. She investigates evolutionary process of how species respond to rapid changes in their abiotic or biotic environments.

New papers out this year from Emma Wallace & Emily Reed…

Check out two new papers published in the BR lab. First we have the delightful and wicked smart Emma Wallace, who was an undergraduate researcher in our lab and has now moved on to a PhD program a Duke!  She conducted a fantastic phylogenetic analysis on rockfish in the subgenus Sebastosomus LINK HERE The second [...]
