Murray & Bossert - about
I am an evolutionary biologist specialized in the biology of bees.
I am currently a Research Assistant Professor at Washington State University, collecting bees in the Pacific Northwest. Before I moved to the Palouse, I was a predoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in the lab of Seán Brady . My research uses four main angles to study bee evolution and natural history. (1) I use phylogenies to study relationships among bees and wasps. This includes methodological studies on bioinformatics of phylogenomics. (2) Using the ‘phylogenetic lens’,
I hold a PhD in Entomology from Cornell University , where I studied the natural history of bees and plants in Bryan Danforth's lab.
