Ruth G. Shaw

From her role as Director of Graduate Studies in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, to a mentor of dozens of graduate students, Dr. Ruth Shaw has been a fierce advocate of graduate education for over three decades. In the graduate classroom, she seeks to provide a conceptual grounding for critical, but “intimidating” topics such as quantitative genetics, in addition to supporting student education and research in interdisciplinary topics such as conservation genetics and invasive species.
