Dr. Hannah earned her B.S. in Marine Biology and Molecular Biology from Florida Institute of Technology and Ph.D. in Anatomy & Neurobiology from University of Vermont, College of Medicine. As a neuroscientist, her research interests explore howblood vessels in our brains control the amount of sugar and oxygen delivered to brain cells, and how this control can become unregulated after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. She is currently exploring a new animal model using the red-eared slider turtle to discover how some organisms; brain cells survive in low oxygen environments. She’s an advocate for  ncreasing students access to experiential learning opportunities throughout their undergraduate careers.
