The Lynch Lab celebrated the new academic year, and the addition of Noah Strycker and Michael Wethington to the lab, with the 6th annual Lynch Lab mini golf invitational. With returning champion Casey Youngflesh having graduated, the title went back to (Lynch’s husband) Matt Eisaman.

Congratulations to Dr. Casey Youngflesh, Dr. Catherine Foley, and Dr. Maureen Lynch, who graduated with their Ph.D.s from the Department of Ecology & Evolution a few weeks ago. All of them did an outstanding job with their dissertations and are now busy bees in their new jobs. We will miss you guys!

Congratulations to former high school lab member Reid Biondo, who is heading to the University of Virginia this fall.

Heather Lynch and Casey Youngflesh, along with collaborator Mike Polito from LSU, reported on their latest research in a “Penguins! From Space” press conference at AGU.
