Jessica Brzyski

Jessica Brzyski
Associate Professor of Biology
Audiology, Biology (B.A. and B.S.), Biology - Pre-Med B.S., Clinical Laboratory Science, Dental, Health Science B.S

I grew up in Buffalo but have lived in many different states (GA, KY, MT, OH, TN). I received my PhD in Ohio, completed my postdoc in Kentucky, and have worked in Georgia for a few years. My research uses plants as study organism but I have also worked with bobwhite quail, greater sage grouse, beavers, and loggerhead sea turtles. Besides my interest in ecology and genetics, I also love to travel, watch sports (Let's Go Buffalo Sabres/Buffalo Bills!), run, and eat.
