Laurie Stevison receives MIRA award for $1.8 million to investigate the role of female egg production in driving biodiversity

By looking at various stressors, Stevison and her team will be able to identify potential mechanisms for recombination rate plasticity due to environmental factors – a mystery that has puzzled scientists for over a century.

“As a first-generation college graduate in my family, this award shows future generations of female scientists that they can pursue a career in science and make significant contributions with meaningful accomplishments like this MIRA award,” said Stevison. “I hope this award inspires first-generation college students that they can achieve anything they want.”
