Tony Frankino earned his BS and MS with Steve Juliano at Illinois State University working on life history evolution in mosquitoes. For his PhD, he worked in Curt Lively's lat at Indiana University on the evolutionary ecology of polypheniesm maintenance in larval amphibians. After a short postdoc with David Pennig at UNC, Tony went to Leiden University in the Netherlands as an NSF Bioinformatics Postdoc, where he worked with Paul Brakefield on the evolution of morphological scaling relationships in butterflies for nearly four years, and continued this work with David Stern at Princeton before joining the faculty at the University of Houston. There, he studies the expression and evolution of morphological scaling and has developed and runs a number of student success programs.
