Rae Yumul

Summer Research Intern

Rae recently graduated from UPenn with a BA in Biology/Neuroscience but decided that what she really wants to study is plant genetics (yes!!). She is volunteering briefly in the Torii lab to experience plant molecular genetics (and seed harvesting and plant care) before heading off to UC Riverside in the fall.
