Our graduate student Kris Budd was awarded the Support for Advanced Scientific Research grant today from the Eppley Foundation for Research for her and Dr. Eggert’s proposal entitled the Genetic and Genomic Diverstiy of the Asian Elephant, which will fund Kris’ research into developing methodology to extract high quality DNA from Dung and fecal samples!

Kris is extremely excited about progressing her research. Thank you to everyone who helped with this proposal!
