Now I'm working as a Research Associate in the State fisheries genomics lab at Oregon States Hatfield Marine Science Center. I can't wait to dive into genomic management of Chinook Salmon!

The other two chapters explored the difference between a high fat and low fat diet. We found diet-specific differences in the rate of evaporative water loss. We also show impacts on immune function, circadian gene regulation and mitochondrial function.

Two chapters explored water deprivation using physiology then gene expression. We found strong evidence for dehydration anorexia. Eating can actually make mice more dehydrated.

I did my PhD at the University of New Hampshire I focused on the physiological and genomic adaptations of desert mice (Peromyscus eremicus) using modern respirometry and RNAseq methods. We tested everything from diet to water deprivation in the cactus mouse.
