He moved to San Luis Obispo County in 2019 to pursue an M.S. in Biological Sciences at Cal Poly\, completing it in February 2023 under the guidance of Professor Nishi Rajakaruna in the Geoecology Lab. Michael’s M.S. research focused on lichen communities of serpentine rocks and soils. \nPrior to this life in SLO\, Michael spent six years working as a biologist in the San Francisco Bay Area and more recently served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Panamá for two years. Now\, he works locally as a Biologist for Althouse and Meade\, Inc.\, continuing to plug away at lichen identification and community ecology research. When he’s not studying lichens\, Michael enjoys reading\, birding\, and being in the ocean. \nCome join us and delve into the captivating world of lichens with Michael Mulroy! \nThis event is perfect for adults and older kids who can stay engaged throughout the class.
