Welcome Mia Larrieu!
Mia Larrieu, a graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will be joining the Taylor lab as a NSF Graduate Research Fellow and PhD student this fall. Prior to starting her PhD in our lab, Mia spent a few years as a field research assistant on some really interesting research projects around the United States and Latin America, working at institutions such as the USGS, Cornell University, and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute! For her PhD, Mia will work with the Boulder Chickadee Study system, to look at hybridization, behavioral responses of urbanization, and effects of anthropogenic disturbances on Black-capped and Mountain Chickadee populations in Colorado.
