My Research
My research integrates across scales, from physiology to landscapes, to understand honey bee nutritional ecology. It is highly interdisciplinary, leveraging techniques from landscape ecology, behavioral ecology, physiology, molecular biology, and applied statistics to address questions about pollinator nutrition.
My research addresses fundamental questions in organismal biology, provide a novel framework to quantify and predict the impacts of global change factors, and provides information to support decision making by beekeepers, conservationists, and policymakers. |
A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.” |
My TeachingI have a learner-centered teaching style, based in data-driven best practices from the pedagogical literature. As a higher education instructor, I aim to develop the citizens and scientists of the future. To facilitate student development, I utilize practical skills-focused backwards design, evidence-based teaching methods, and take steps to remove barriers to success in STEM.
