The WilsonLab is growing again. Welcome to the lab our new PhD student, Gabriela Ágreda López.

2024 is already starting off well. Emily’s meta-analysis project was just published in BioScience. This was only due to Emily’s persistence and hard work. The first set of reviews required another literature search that highlighted hundreds of studies to consider for this study. Great job, Emily.
