Originally from upstate New York, Cassidy received her B.A. in Biology from Middlebury College in Vermont.\u00a0 Her undergraduate research focused on using population genetic data and coalescent modeling to study lamprey population dynamics.\u00a0 In the Buston Lab, she used the neon goby <\/span>Elacatinus lori <\/span><\/em>as a model system to investigate marine larval dispersal and population connectivity, applying direct and indirect genetic techniques, GIS analyses and simulation modeling.\u00a0 Cassidy is broadly interested in population ecology, metapopulation modeling and genetics, and marine conservation. On graduating from the BU, Cassidy did one postdoc with Marie-Jos\u00e9e Fortin at the University of Toronto and another with Mike Neubert at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, before becoming a faculty member at the University of New Brunswick in Canada.
