Biography
Zack Underwood is a recent migrant to Laramie and the University of WY. Zack has spent the last several years in Fort Collins, CO studying fishery biology at CSU. Zack has worked as a field technician on several plains-fishes research projects through Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and has led and assisted with several laboratory research projects on various aspects of fish physiology, including swimming and jumping behavior, thermal biology, and growth and diet studies.. Starting in August 2012, Zack began working with the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, US Fish and Wildlife, and Wyoming Game and Fish on a project evaluating burbot out-migration from several lakes and reservoirs in the Wind River drainage in central Wyoming.
