Most recently she was working for the Everglades Foundataion in Miami, Florida. Natalie will be pursuing a Ph.D. through the <a href=\"https:\/\/eeb.tamu.edu\/\">Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB)<\/a> program here at Texas A&amp;M. For her dissertation research, she is interested in combining chemical ecology with her background in plant physiological ecology and plant pathology.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-302\" src=\"https:\/\/helmslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_1570-e1569363694173.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1570\" width=\"413\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helmslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_1570-e1569363694173.jpg 2897w, https:\/\/helmslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_1570-e1569363694173-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helmslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_1570-e1569363694173-768x612.jpg 768w, https:\/\/helmslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_1570-e1569363694173-1024x817.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helmslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_1570-e1569363694173-1568x1250.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lab lunch at the Dixie Chicken to start the semester off right<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fall semester is off to a great start for everyone in the Helms lab.
