Research Assistants Team
Trevor Linnell
Trevor joined the lab in fall 2024, with a few other RA’s, and will be graduating in spring of 2025. With hopes to pursue a doctorate to go into therapeutic work, for now he just wants to assist the lab in whatever ways he can, research interests: sleep, and memories. Hobbies: hitting the gym, films, a random assortment of nerdy things.
