Samantha Siomko
Sam (Gettysburg College ’17) spent her time in the Trillo Lab studying the effect of frog call rarity on predator attention in mixed-species frog choruses at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama and Gettysburg College. Currently, she is a research assistant at the Moroccan Primate Conservation Foundation studying the behavioral ecology and conservation of African golden wolves in Morocco.
Kali Qutub
Kalli (Gettysburg College ’16) studied the effects of larval nutrition on primary and secondary sexual traits of Acromis sparsa male beetles at Gettysburg College while in the Trillo Lab. She is currently getting a Masters of Science at Western Kentucky University
Julia Palmucci
Julia (Gettysburg College ’18) studied the effects of larval nutrition on primary and secondary sexual traits of Acromis sparsa male beetles at Gettysburg College while in the Trillo Lab. She is currently a PhD student at Duke University. She studies infectious diseases.
Sarah Smith
Sarah (Gettysburg College ’18) spent her time in the Trillo Lab studying the dynamics of predation and parasitism risk in mixed-species courses at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama and Gettysburg College. Sarah is going to med school in Midwestern University in Arizona
Brendan Dula
Brendan (Gettysburg College ’16) spent her time in the Trillo Lab studying the dynamics of predation and parasitism risk in mixed-species courses at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama and Gettysburg College. Brendan is currently getting a Masters of Science at Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of Georgia. He studies Gulf Sturgeon Conservation.
Meghan Brady
Meghan (Gettysburg College ’17) spent her time in the Trillo Lab studying the dynamics of predation and parasitism risk in mixed-species courses at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama and Gettysburg College. Meghan is starting her first year as a Biology PhD student at University of Georgia.
Natalie Pitman
Natalie (Gettysburg College ’17) studied the effect of copper chloride on anti-predator response in zebrafish while in the Trillo Lab at Gettysburg College. Currently, she is a technician at Snowdon Wildlife Sanctuary in McCall, Idaho working on the rehabilitation and release of wild and native animals.
Lidia Molina Serpas
I am a senior environmental studies major and biology minor at Gettysburg College. I am currently studying the behavior of frog-eating bats and their selectivity of frog species in Panama. During the summer of 2019, I conducted research with Dr. Trillo at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama.
Oliver Pickering
Oliver is a sophomore at Gettysburg College and joined the Trillo Lab in fall 2018. In the summer of 2019, he studied collateral damage with Dr. Trillo at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama.
Brian Ruether
Brian (Gettysburg College '19) spent two summers with Dr. Trillo in Panama at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. While there, he studied the anti-predator chemical defense of two species of tortoise beetles as well as how two species of tropical frogs deal with different levels of predation and parasitism risk. Currently, Brian is a microbiologist at the Delaware Public Health Lab in Smyrna, DE. He will be starting a PhD program focusing on chemical ecology at Virginia Tech in fall 2020.
Tiffany Lam
Tiffany (Gettysburg College '19) spent the summer after her sophomore year with Dr. Trillo in Panama at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute studying anti-predatory chemical defenses in two species of neotropical tortoise beetles. She also designed and developed this website. She is currently employed as an associate scientist at Eurofins, USA.
Cartier Jankura
Cartier (Gettysburg College '19) investigated the behavior of frog-eating bats and their selectivity of frogs species in Panama. She has also worked as a research associate at Western EcoSystems Technology, Inc. studying the effect of wind turbines in bat and bird mortality. Currently, she is a staff scientist in the ecological services at Civil and Environmental Consultants, Inc.
Lindsay Kraus
Lindsay (Gettysburg College '18) studied the effects of sertraline on the antipredator responses of zebrafish in visual and chemical sensory modalities while in the Trillo Lab at Gettysburg College. She is currently continuing her education as a Biomedical PhD student at Temple University.
