I am an evolutionary ecologist who studies plant-insect interactions. I’ve been fascinated by plants and bugs since I was a little kid, and am still amazed I have a job that pays me to play with them. I’ve worked in wild, agricultural and urban habitats on a wide variety of systems, but for the past five years I’ve been studying how floral traits affect bumble bee disease. I’ve been collaborating with Dr. Rebecca Irwin since I became a professor 15 years ago.
