Jenna Barad (she/her)
I am a Senior, studying Conservation Biology. I took an immediate interest to this lab due to its potential to increase the yield of photosynthesis in certain algae species and understand how crucial that may be for adapting to a world impacted by climate change. I have always been interested in Biology, but it wasn't until I took my first Botany course that I discovered my enjoyment of learning about cells at a molecular level. I am excited and humbled to be a part of this lab and to grow as a scientist and a student.
I am from Los Angeles, California and love going to school in Madison, Wisconsin. I love watching the seasons change, going to yoga classes, and hosting my radio show through our student radio program!
