Kaylee Formica
managed lab
As the official Formica-lab lab, Kaylee is responsible for greeting all visitors, answering any calls, and is fully available to fetch anything for Dr. Formica. When not assisting the PI, Kaylee focuses her time on researching predator-prey interactions, specifically auditory cues that squirrels use to evade well hidden canines.
Each undergraduate in our lab develops and executes their own independent project. These projects result in posters, presentations, and published papers.
