Dr. Jennifer Neuwald
- Former Postdoctoral Associate
At the Valenzuela lab she worked on an eco-genomics project to study the effect of fluctuating temperature on the expression of genes involved in gonadogenesis in TSD turtles.
Her work was funded by the National Science Foundation (IOS 0743284 to N. Valenzuela).
Jennifer is now an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Colorado State University.
