Eric Olivas:
Eric joined the lab as a master’s student in the fall of 2014. A native New Mexican, he is interested in understanding the effects of drought on the fungal communities of the state tree, Piñon pine. Eric is more broadly interested in the effects of global change on microbial communities particularly those that are associated with native plant species. Eric also enjoys gardening, woodworking, and spending time with his many animals, especially his dog Cara. Eric successfully defended his MS in May, 2016! |
