Tamrya Dawn d'Artenay M.Sc.

    2006 - 2007 Ph.D. Student, Renzaglia Lab

I grew up on a farm in the central San Joaquin Valley of California near a small town called Coalinga. I entered University of California, Berkeley in the fall of 2000 and was on the track and field team for three and half years throwing shot put, discus and hammer. I graduated with a BA in December of 2004 in Integrative Biology.  After working as a researcher for a year and a half, I enrolled in a PhD program at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.  I plan to conduct my PhD dissertation on a study using ultra-structural characters to test the molecular phylogenetic tree for the liverwort tree of life.

My other interests include herpetology, reading (especially Stephen King), and going new places. My interest in bryology was set in motion when I enrolled in a field class near Tahiti, French Polynesia in the fall of 2004 and conducted a systematics project on the moss family Calymperaceae.
