Logan W. Cole

Logan W. Cole serves as an Adjunct Lecturer in the Department of Biology at The College at Brockport, State University of New York, teaching upper-division courses including BIO 411 - Evolution covering population genetics, phylogenetics, and paleontology.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior, Indiana University, 2019
• BS in Biological Sciences, University at Buffalo, 2012

Dr. Cole's research examines molecular evolutionary mechanisms such as mutation and horizontal gene transfer, with specific focus on repeat-mediated genome rearrangement in mitochondrial genomes of flowering plants, particularly within the geranium-family genus Monsonia. His work bridges genomic analysis with evolutionary theory in plant systems.

Outside research, he engages in public scholarship through op-eds on societal issues and cultural commentary on media.
