Welcome travelers. My name is Tracy
K. Teal and I recently graduated with my PhD in Computation and Neural Systems at
the California Institute of
Technology. I studied molecular and microbiology in Dr. Barbara Wold and
Dr. Dianne Newman's labs
and defended my thesis
"Studies of the Spatial Organization of Metabolism in Shewanella oneidensis
and Pseudomonas aeriginosa biofilms" on May 24th, 2007.
Last year I worked as a developer on the project Textpresso at Caltech, and now I am a postdoc in Tom Schmidt's lab at Michigan State University studying microbial ecology in soils. I also did some research in artificial life in days gone by. In California I filled my spare moments volunteering as a ski patroller at Mt. Baldy, playing soccer and ultimate frisbee, creating web sites with no graphics, and bicycling, while wearing a helmet. Activities in Michigan are yet to come! Well, that's about it. More on my current and past research including publications, programs I've written and biology protocols I use, links I find useful and other miscellaneous items that didn't fit in anywhere else are on the other pages.
