Amanda Power
Short Bio
Hello! My name is Amanda Power and I am an incoming master's student in the Bernal Lab. For my senior honor's thesis at Bates College, I conducted a population genetics study of the blue mussel in Maine, and I'm excited to continue pursuing marine genomics at the graduate level at Auburn! In my free time I love to hike, paddleboard and bedazzle things. My favorite color is pink, and my favorite music genre is metal!
