Hello Ecologers! My name is Chelsea Peterson and I am currently an undergraduate at Boston University graduating with a B.A. in Biology this summer. I am going to be moving to the Seattle, WA area to be with family and am really interested in expanding some of my lab/field experience before applying to graduate schools. Most of my interests lie in wildlife conservation and behavior, but I also have strong interests in lab work.
I have a diverse background in biology. I worked at the Live Animal Center (LAC) at the Museum of Science in Boston for roughly a year gaining fundamental zoological and behavioral experience. In summer 2010 I did an internship with the Smithsonian working jointly in their Osteo Prep lab and Marine Mammals lab. Right now, I am working in Dr. Sean Mullen's lab at BU on mimetic butterfly genomics. My interests are definitely vast and varied and I believe I will learn from any experiences I am thrust into. So if you're in the PacNW looking for a lab tech, field tech, or would just like to take me under your wing, please contact me at chels.l...@gmail.com . I can provide references, resume, and cover letters to all interested parties. If you would like to talk to me face-to-face, I will be in Seattle from March 13-18. Thank you, Chelsea Peterson
