Research and Practice Interests
As an interdisciplinary anthropological genomicist, my research focuses on the intersection between genomic variation and fitness across environmental variation. I also conduct Science Education Research and am passionately committed to increasing diversity and inclusion in STEM. See more information here: Grogan Lab Website
