Our Crew

The Hove Lab is powered by a dedicated team of undergraduate students who play an active role in every stage of the research process. From collecting data in the field to analyzing results in the lab, students collaborate on projects spanning plant conservation, genetics, and ecosystem ecology.

Together, the crew builds skills in scientific research, teamwork, and communication while contributing to real-world conservation efforts.
