Sam Levin, from New Marlborough, Massachusetts, is a rising finalist at the University of Oxford. Sam came to the Strassmann/Queller lab in July 2013 to conduct research for his Final Honour School Project at Oxford. His research focuses on the evolution of resistance to intra-organismal cheating in D. discoideum, as a way to learn more about the major transition to multicellularity. Sam’s background is in dairy farming, and when not in the lab, he likes to write zombie stories.
