Here in the Zamudio Lab we Celebrate All Wins!
Last week, on May 28th, 2024, Rebecca Clemons passed her Qualifying Exams and is now a PhD candidate! We celebrated with a lab lunch at Madam Mam’s near campus!
Congrats Rebecca!
This post is late but I still thought worth a celebration!
Zamudio Lab beautiful folks were role modeling during UT Girl Day on campus in February 2024. Our booth was about frogs and frog diseases (of course)…
STEM Girl Day is inspiring at UT, nearly 17,000 students (K-8th grade) swarm on to campus to meet STEM faculty, do hands on activities, and explore their science interests. Outreach that matters!
Thanks to Anat, Chloé, Rebecca, and Céline for representing!
Looking forward to #UTGirlDay 2025!
Zamudio Lab showed up in force at the Evolution Meetings this year in Albuquerque! Four talks and two posters covering everything from snake hybrid zones to museomics! Everyone rocked it!
It was also a lot of fun to see all our colleagues again, and make new friends. We are all exhausted but looking forward to #Evol2024 in Montreal 🇨🇦🍁
We are so happy to have recruited Chloé Allen to the KZ Lab! Chloé attended the University of Northern Georgia as an undergrad, where she gathered research experience working on toads and their parasites. She also did an REU at the California Academy of Sciences working with Rayna Bell on African puddle frogs. Welcome to the lab Chloé!
Three new grad students are joining the lab! We are super excited to have them and build our new UT group! Céline Carneiro (left) joins us from University of Florida and her work focuses on genomics and biodiversity. Rebecca Clemons (center) is coming from University of Michigan and her interests are in disease ecology. And Britt White (right) is already at UT and a new member of the lab co-advised with Justin Havird; her interests are in the evolution of color polymorphism in lizards.
Looking forward to some great science in the next years!
The Zamudio Lab will be recruiting graduate students to begin in the EEB Graduate Program at UT Austin in Fall 2022. Information about the graduate application process and the lab can be found here.
This Fall we will also be recruiting at least one post-doc to begin in 2022. More details on post-doc openings will be posted in late October 2021 – keep an eye out for that announcement here and on Twitter (@KZ_UTAustin). If you are interested in developing a project for an independent post-doctoral position, please contact me so we can discuss potential projects.
