Carl E. McIntosh
I've been the Lab Manager at the National Museum of Natural History's Genetics Program since May of 1991. My areas of interests include phylogenetics and computational methods. I have participated in several projects focusing on systematic relationships, rates of molecular evolution, and biogeographical events of the Hawaiian honeycreepers (i.e. I'Iwi pictured). I think it is important to examine as many different types of data concurrently (i.e. morphological, molecular, behavior traits etc.) in order to understand the evolutionary history of a group of organisms.
I am studying computational methods useful in developing scientific software at George Mason's School of Computational Sciences. I wish to apply computational methods to molecular systematics or population genetics.
