Elijah Thompson
Laboratory Manager

I started out as an undergraduate assisting in Dr. Gangloffs lab during the Fall of 2018. I have since gathered experience working in many aquatic ecosystems and with diverse animal taxa. These groups include: freshwater mussels, snails, fish, macroinvertebrates, hellbenders and other amphibian species. My interests are based in applied conservation of freshwater environments with a special focus on freshwater invertebrates, reptiles, and amphibians. I have also been able to gain great taxonomic knowledge while working in ASU's zoological collection and learning how to manage such species collections.
