New year accomplishments

I am very, very excited to announce that I have completed my degree and I am now Dr. Gina Contolini!

Me with my family the night I passed my closed defense.

Me starting my public defense.


On that note, my first dissertation chapter was published as a stand-alone research article in the journal Oecologia. Seeing this publication come out was a great way to graduate on a high note. Check it out online using the link below, and if you want full access, feel free to contact me.

Now, I'm teaching a couple courses here at UCSC while applying for postdocs and faculty jobs in the area. It is nice to be able to transition to another phase of life!
