The Neiman lab is using ecological stoichiometry to study the evolution of genome architecture in a freshwater New Zealand snail, Potamopyrgus antipodarum, that features unique natural genomic variation. We are addressing whether this variation could be linked to differential sensitivity to nutrient limitation, with the prediction that snails with larger genomes will need more of the elements used to build genomes to be healthy.

"I enjoy diving into a primary source and constructing a fragment of their world. Between the crossed out words, affectionate closing phrases, and animals drawn in the margins, a close reading of primary sources reminds me of the common thread of humanity that links our experiences across time." Get to know Max Halbach and his contributions to research on campus.

"I enjoy the steady stream of learning and discovering in research, it gives me the opportunity to transcend beyond what I am taught in the classroom by applying what I know to discover the unknown." Get to know Jasmyn Hoeger and her contributions to research.

"I most enjoy the flexibility of research. You're able to problem solve and think on your feet, allowing you to learn a lot from experiments and take them in directions you hadn't previously considered." Get to know Sam Thompson her and research contributions to UIowa

"What I enjoy most about orthopedic research is the shared curiosity of specific topics within the field." Get to know Grayson Talaski and his contributions UIowa's research community
