Rebecca defended and filed her dissertation last month: "Intraspecific variation in the distribution, physiology, population traits, and consumer effects of the salt marsh periwinkle, Littoraria irrorata, across its geographic range".  She snailed it (as we always knew she would)!  She is finishing up her Knauss Fellowship at NOAA in DC and then on to other great things.  Many thanks to her committee for their help and support (Christine Angelini, Mary O'Connor, Jeb Byers, and Ford Ballantyne).
