Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGrace Crandall is a PhD student and research assistant at the University of Washington with a decade of hands-on experience in aquatic and fishery sciences, specializing in transcriptomics and proteomics to study marine disease and thermal stress in shellfish and sea stars. She combines wet-lab skills (dissections, histology, RNA/DNA extraction, qPCR, hatchery work) with bioinformatics (R, Python, bash, GitHub, data visualization) and a strong commitment to open science and reproducible research. Grace has a track record of translating complex science for diverse audiences—she created and produced the DecaPod outreach podcast, won an award for science communication, and taught lab sections to undergraduates. Comfortable in field, lab, and computational settings, she collaborates across labs and seasons (Seattle, Friday Harbor, Olympic Peninsula) and brings One Health perspectives to marine disease ecology. Notably, her work spans both applied aquaculture questions and fundamental host–pathogen interactions, reflecting a rare blend of technical breadth and public-facing communication.
