Please join us in welcoming our newest postdoc, Dr. Steven Moran (@SJvrMoran)!
Dr. Moran comes to us from Cornell University, but he's a NC native who started his research journey as an undergrad at Methodist University doing work at UNC's Institute of Marine Sciences!

In his spare time, he is an avid music listener and vinyl collector, appreciator of flowers, and an iced chai latte enthusiast.
He has been a wonderful addition to the lab and we are excited to see the cool science that comes from this interdisciplinary collaboration! Welcome!

Introducing Maria Camila Arango of the Starbird Lab, the first to be featured in our Meet the Lab series! Camila is a 2nd year graduate student. She may look familiar, and that’s because we were lucky to have her in the lab previously as a technician.
