And Abby Riley, also at the Undergrad Research Symposium! Abby is using the thin sections of Miocene silicified charcoal to infer the composition of a forest destroyed by pyroclastic flow. So proud of my students! #HuskyResearch #stromberglab #paleofire

So proud of my undergrad mentees presenting at the Undergrad Research Symposium! Haley Brooks is conducting research on fossil charcoal morphometry as a means to understand what fuels were involved in ancient wildfires! #HuskyResearch #stromberglab #paleofire

Lab night out at the OL Reign match! I have it on good authority that points can be scored in this game. #reignsupreme #stromberglab
