Lab History

The Doak lab as moved several times: Dan was first in the Environmental Studies Program at UC Santa Cruz, and then moved to the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) program at Santa Cruz. Next, he moved to the Dept. of Zoology and Physiology at Univ. of Wyoming in Laramie, where he took graduate students through both that department's program and also the inter-departmental Program in Ecology. Most recently, he has moved to CU Boulder's Environmental Studies Program. Past lab members listed below are from all these different places where the Doak lab has resided.

In addition, many undergraduate students have worked in our lab and gone on to do interesting things, but we do not try to list them all.
