Ernest Walker

Hello, my name is Ernest N Walker and I’m a lab manager at the Bogar Lab. I graduated from UC Davis with a Biology degree in December 2022 and joined the lab as an undergraduate in September 2022. Fungi and plant biology have never been a focus of mine, but once I joined this lab I absolutely fell in love. In the lab you’ll catch me in the culturing room managing our culture collection, in the field collecting soil and mycorrhiza samples, or listening to my favorite tunes BLASTING away at some data. My project focus right now is an experiment designed to look at N as a nutrient source for Bishop pines, both with or without mycorrhiza. In my spare time, I’m chilling with my cat Grayson, gaming with some friends, or longboarding around Davis.
