Carolyn spent the 2010 summer
researching at Mountain Lake
Biological Station in southwest
Virginia. Her travels also took her to Camden Hills State Park in Maine
and other parts of New England where she studied the ecological and
evolutionary impact of a species of jewelweed from India that is now
spreading throughout New England. She will also be presenting research on
the potential range expansion of Japanese honeysuckle in the United States
under current and future climate conditions, at the Ecological Society of
America meetings this August.
“I feel extremely lucky to be part of an
organization that took such care to create
a space for students that is both
environmentally responsible and
aesthetically pleasing. As a student in
biology, most of my work is tied to the lab
or the field. It means a lot to know that I
have a place to come to read and think and
meet with other students. ”
