Morse Fellows
Morse College is a vibrant community. We would love to count you among us. The Fellows meet a few times per semester at the Head of College’s House, to interact with friends from all parts of the University and the broader community. Many play the role of Advisor for a student or two. We extend invitations to student functions such as performances and college-wide social events, welcome participation at intramural sports, and provide dining privileges in the college at lunch, all so you can meet with students, faculty, and friends. Please join us - we welcome you!

Laura is interested in studying the past 13 billion years of cosmic history through measurements of the CMB and 21cm emission from faraway galaxies. Her work involves building instruments that go on telescopes in Chile and Canada. She enjoys running (not that she’s had a chance to do that recently), hanging out with scientists (because she only knows scientists), and using natural selection to build stronger plants through abject neglect.
