Elizabeth (Libby) King (she/her)

I am an Associate Professor in the MU Division of Biological Sciences. Before joining the faculty at Mizzou in 2014, I was a postdoctoral scholar in Tony Long’s lab at UC Irvine where I first started working on the DSPR. Further back in time, I was an undergraduate at Grinnell College and then a PhD student working on wing dimorphic insects with Daphne Fairbairn and Derek Roff at UC Riverside.
