Welcome to @EPICsci, Myles Covington!

Myles completed a BS in Biology @FIU. They have extensive research experience studying orchids w/ the Fairchild Million Orchid Project and interned at the @USDA. 🌿🌷 They join #TeamFish to study how pollutants affect behavior in #zebrafish.

We celebrated the end of the first semester
@univmiami with tacos and birthday cake for research assistants Tatiana Malli and Patrick Janssens.

We planted an #orchid in the Gifford Arboretum to commemorate the start of EPIC @univmiami . Can't wait to see it grow in concert with the lab. Thanks @rileyfortierii for organizing this effort!
