   personal_statement: Michael (Mike) has routinely conducted molecular research
     utilizing genetic and genomic techniques, established and novel, to identify
     biologically-appropriate units of conservation and management among imperiled
     and invasive species.Throughout his long career he has developed hundreds of
     molecular markers for over 20 different animal and plant species. He gained
     an early mastery of genotyping and Sanger sequencing on capillary driven analyzers.
     Mike also has substantial experience with genomic library preparation and sequencing,
     including shotgun, amplicon and bait capture approaches.  He has generated High
     Throughput data sets on many different platforms ranging in output of 2 million
     sequence reads to 8 billion reads.  In addition to time in the lab, he is also
     proficient in non-invasive DNA tissue sampling of fish, assorted bivalves, amphibians,
     and plant species. In recent years, Mike has become increasingly involved with
     environmental DNA studies, including collection of water and soil samples, eDNA
     extraction, specific gene amplification and metabarcoding. Beyond his contributions
     to the genetics field, Mike has assisted with backpack electrofishing and analysis
     of side scan sonar imagery for sturgeon and invasive Carp. Mike has help keep
     the fires of higher education burning in the lives of many college interns and
     graduate students while providing sustained support to a program, lab and vision
     first begun by Dr. Tim King in 1993.
