Anthony Krafnick, B.S.

Anthony graduated from Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia in 2008 with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Psychology. His undergraduate research consisted of examining the effects of elevated CO2 on a native North Carolina Redbud population and predatory behavior of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on E. coli. He's currently a Ph.D. candidate under the mentorship of Dr. Eden working on the development of ventral visual representation of reading in typical children and changes following reading intervention in dyslexic children.
