The Burns lab had a busy Summer 2011.  Four of us went to the Evolution meetings in Norman, Oklahoma where Allison, Pascal, and Nick all presented some of the results of their MS theses. Nick also presented a talk at the American Ornithologists’ Union meeting in Jacksonville, Florida and his team also won 2nd place in the student quiz bowl. Speaking of Nick, he spent most of his summer at UC Berkeley where we did an internship in Dr. Rauri Bowie’s lab through the Sally Casonova predoctoral fellowship program.
