Welcome to Sushma Reddy's Lab

Our research covers a broad range of topics in evolutionary biology including phylogenetics, biogeography, molecular evolution, and conservation. We focus on the evolution of birds using DNA, morphology, and geography. We strive to improve knowledge of  biodiversity across the avian tree of life.

Sushma Reddy is faculty at the University of Minnesota in the department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology and the curator of birds at the Bell Museum of Natural History.

In Memoriam: Lynika Strozier
M.S. in Biology, M.Ed. in Science Education
We lost Lynika in June 2020. She was an integral part of our lives for several years. She was truly exceptional with her hardworking attitude and cheery spirit. Her grandmother raised her and taught her never to give up. We are feeling this heartbreak personally and as a community. 

Her inspiring and tragic story resonated across the world. Scholarships in Lynika's honor to support young, Black women are currently being set up at the Field Museum, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Loyola University Chicago. You can read more about her in The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Nature, The Scientist, The Today Show, and many more...
