On Wednesday, Dec. 4th, Silu gave an outstanding presentation and defence of her PhD dissertation, titled “Genomic Architecture of Speciation in a Warbler Species Complex.”
It has been a great pleasure to serve as Silu’s advisor. We all wish her well in her next scientific adventure, as a postdoctoral research in Dr. Doris Bachtrog’s research group at UC Berkeley.
Congratulations Dr. Wang!!!
