“I'm honored to have led this project and worked alongside so many exceptional people, especially our collaborators in South Africa,” said Xavier Jenkins, an ISU doctoral alum who’s now serving as a postdoctoral fellow at the American Museum of Natural History. “This was one of my first projects as a doctoral student at Idaho State University, and this project ended up determining my research path and ultimately my whole academic career! It's incredibly rewarding to see our work finally published, and I'm proud to be a Bengal."
