I just noticed there's an introduce yourself thread So here goes... My real name is Jessica. I'm married to a fellow biology geek (Restoration Ecologist) and we have a ten-month old chibi geek named Midori. I was majoring in biology at Indiana University but we had to move out of the area for my husband's job. I'll be attending Purdue next fall to finish up my biology degree and I really have no idea where I'm going from there. I've been involved in research projects dealing with such diverse subjects as Hydra population genetics, South American Cotton tetraploid phylogenies (did you know that one genome comes from South America and one comes from Africa!?!?!), Caribbean Drosophila evolution and development and the isolation of microsatellite loci from Acacia species. I take my handle from my time as a supplemental instructor for intro biology. The students used to call me that biology girl and the name kind of stuck I'll be taking the biology GRE as a review this fall; it looks like it will be a great test and I'm looking forward to it Thank you for having me,
