\nPost Doc
\nRachel Meyer is the executive director of the UC Conservation Genomics Consortium that is focused on using new genomics tools, such as environmental DNA metagenomics, to revolutionize conservation in California. In this role, she manages the program, helps to run their CALeDNA citizen science initiative, and is expanding their botanical research focus under the mentorship of Dr. Sork. She is interested in the whole community maintenance by different oak species in oak-grassland habitats.

\nI am broadly interested in the hybridization and introgression between different species of oak. Specifically, I am interested in the role that hybridization and introgression plays in localized adaptation to climate.
