Alumni

Over the past 15 years, we have had the good fortune of working with great PGRs and Staff Research Associates. Over 100 laboratory helpers and assistants have worked the summer months, many of whom spent a few years in the laboratory, becoming career employees, while they completed college degrees (most commonly a teaching credential). Below are the current PGRs and students (along with their CVs) and this past season's laboratory crews in Berkeley and Fresno. The website for alumni is under construction.
