Lisa M. Ryno, Ph.D.

I love spending time with my family (spouse, daughter, dog, cat, and guinea pigs (the hogs!)), reading (favorite authors include Margaret Atwood, Lauren Groff, Adrian Tchaikovsky, and Ted Chiang, among many, many others), crocheting/knitting, printmaking, and walks in the woods.
