| Early Career Leadership Spotlight — Kristen Lee |
Kristen Lee has developed novel statistical methods to identify genetic signatures of convergent evolution and better understand how species adapt to human-mediated environmental change. She also works to encourage individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to consider careers in STEM and feel confident and capable of coding. As a member of GSA’s Career Development Subcommittee, she is excited to contribute to the “Decoding Life” career path series on the Genes to Genomes blog, which highlights diverse voices and perspectives.
