Charlie Hale, Research Assistant

As a research assistant in the Hopkins Lab, I am contributing to a variety of projects which combine field and greenhouse experiments with genomic analyses to study mechanisms of speciation in plants. I previously studied plant-microbe interactions in the Wilson lab at Haverford College and as a Fulbright grantee in the Pyšek lab at the Czech Academy of Sciences. In the long term, I hope to leverage a deep knowledge of plant systems to help mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change.
