Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Chloe Josefson
Education:
Ph.D., Biological Sciences, Auburn University
B.S., Biology, University of South Florida
B.A., Psychology, University of South Florida
Chloe joined the lab in spring 2020. She is broadly interested in the physiological costs of reproduction in female mammals and the evolution of life history tradeoffs. She is studying mechanisms underlying variation in maternal investment in lactation and consequences for offspring growth and immune development.
Graduate students
Adamarie Marquez Acevedo
Education:
B.S. Animal Science and Global Resource Systems with a minor in Agronomy, Sustainability, and Animal Ecology, Iowa State University
Ada joined the lab in spring 2021 as an MS student. Her thesis research focuses on the cellular response to heat stress in lactating dairy cattle and links to impaired production.
Alexandra Pace
Education:
B.S. Animal Science, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Alex joined the lab in fall 2021 as an MS student. Her research is focused on understanding the impacts of wildfire smoke exposure on dairy cow health and production, and dairy calf health and growth.
Taylor Townsend
Education:
B.S. Animal Science, North Carolina State University
A.S. Computer Technology Integration, Davidson County Community College
Taylor joined the lab in spring 2022 as an MS student. Her research aims to understand broad relationships between exposure to fine particulates in wildfire smoke and health and production outcomes in dairy cattle within a regional scope.
Former graduate students
Ashly Anderson
Education:
M.S. Animal, Veterinary and Food Sciences, University of Idaho
B.S., Animal and Veterinary Science, University of Idaho
Ashly successfully defended her M.S. thesis in spring 2021 lab and she will be starting veterinary school in fall 2022. Her thesis project was on cattle production and health impacts from poor air quality due to wildfires.
