BIO

Dr. Phillips is a genomic naturalist and an Assistant Professor in the Biomedical Sciences Program at Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ. His research interests include many aspects of molecular ecology and genomic evolution. He loves observing his study organisms (mostly herps and land snails, but some fishes) in their native habitats and is immensely fortunate to have conducted research in a variety of theaters from the caves of the Ozarks to the fjords of Iceland, to the famed Galápagos Islands where he searches for elusive land snails.
