Carol Boggs
Lab PI. I did my undergrad and graduate work at UT Austin, with a gap year in Tromsø, Norway. I was at Stanford for many years in various positions, and moved to South Carolina in 2013. My field work has ranged from the Arctic to the New World tropics, but focuses now on the Rocky Mountains and South Carolina.

You’d think that at 6 lbs, Nimue would be pretty soft spoken. But no. She’s a cat with a voice all her own.
