Taylor Coles received a travel scholarship from the UI Institute for Health in the Human Ecosystem to travel to Seattle, WA, to work with our University of Washington collaborator Dr. Jeff Riffell for a week in May 2022.
Taylor was also selected as a junior faculty member and mentor for the 2022 National Native Youth Climate Adaptation and Leadership Congress (NYCALC).
As a member of the Choctaw Nation, Taylor will share her experiences in STEM and encourage young NYCALC participants to explore their interests in science and pursue educational opportunities in these areas.
