Hi, I'm Becca Young, an evolutionary developmental biologist at UT Austin. I study the genomic and developmental origins of phenotypic variation and test evolutionary hypotheses of phenotypic convergence in embryogenesis, morphology, and behavior across vertebrate systems. #evodevo #evolution #development #bioinformatics #transcriptomics #comparativebiology #phenotypicplasticity and #datasterwardship #introduction
