Dr. Amanda Brown joins Texas Tech as Assistant Professor
I’m thrilled to be settling in at my new post as Assistant Professor in Microbial Metagenomics in the Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences at Texas Tech University.
I was completely new to Texas when I arrived — but I’ve been thoroughly pleased so far! The faculty and students here are very focused, productive, and skilled, while also being warm and open to new ideas and collaborations. The university is supportive and is clearly striving for the very best infrastructure to help its community.
And, in fact, the weather (usually sunny and breezy), the campus, and neighborhoods around the university are lovely.
(Below: view from my office window, campus building that I walk past, campus parking garage with seeminly nematode-inspired decorations… marvelous!)
