Turcotte Lab of Experimental Evolutionary Ecology

I am a junior at Pitt majoring in biology with minors in environmental engineering and chemistry with a certificate in sustainability.  I am an active member of the students for sustainability and ski and snowboard clubs on campus. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, running, and shopping. I also worked as a UTA for duckweed survivor and I am so excited to now be able to work with further and learn more about duckweed in the Turcotte lab.

Hi! My name is Jackson and I am a sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh. I am majoring in biological sciences with a minor in chemistry. I have strong interest in plant biology and fungal applications in the medicinal and agricultural worlds. The lab of experimental evolution and ecology has allowed me to explore the multiple disciplines and impacts plants have on the environment, pushing me along in my career as a scientist.

I'm a junior Biology major, chemistry minor. I adore the outdoors and love participating in the research that helps us understand it. Outside of class, I'm in the Treble Choir Ensemble at Pitt, I love to cook, and I'm a huge Star Trek geek. I hope to pursue a PhD within the field of Biology and learn something new everyday.
