Mary Wynn
Mary is an M.S. student and earned her B.S. from the Department of Animal Science at UConn in 2016. Her project focuses on the effects of poor maternal nutrition on offspring fetal muscle development with a focus on histological analysis. She is also working on another project evaluating the effects of dairy cattle milk production on offspring growth and health. Mary also serves as the Assistant Direct of the Women in Math, Science, and Engineering (WiMSE) Learning Community.
