National Science Foundation, Graduate Research Fellow
As a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and former Fulbright Research Fellow at UNC, Alyssa was focused on how humans are changing the Galapagos at the molecular level. Her research here sought to understand how human inputs in the Galapagos contribute to antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in environmental reservoirs such as wildlife and water. Alyssa presented preliminary results from her work at the 5th International Symposium on the Environmental Dimension of Antibiotic Resistance in Hong Kong.
Watch Alyssa speak about her work after the annual Galapagos Conservation and Research Symposium in 2018.
