Larry Bowman

As of 2024, Larry L Bowman, Jr. is on the faculty at East Tennessee State University. He was a postdoc in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the HNL. He received his PhD from Yale where he explored the interactions among temperature, life history, and physiology in zooplankton species, where he did extensive field work in Eastern Siberia (Lake Baikal) and coastal Connecticut lakes. His current research at the HNL is focused on the genomics of social networks and the connections between the human microbiome and the environment. He combines theory, field work, and population genetics to understand population biology in social networks and across complex, heterogeneous landscapes.
