@RebeccaMVarney
I am motivated primarily by questions of how unusual or unique adaptations come to be, and how these adaptations function in the life of an organism. I am particularly interested in marrying the power of new DNA/RNA sequencing technologies with direction from physiology to answer these questions on a deeper level.

I am currently a PhD candidate in the Kocot Lab at the University of Alabama. The Kocot lab specializes in marine invertebrates as models for biological processes (like biomineralization) and as fascinating animals in their own right.

When not in the lab, I am an avid SCUBA diver and enjoy photography and ballroom dancing.
