Patrick Lind

I am a PhD student at Oklahoma State University, studying Integrative Biology. Whether it was digging for “dinosaurs” in my backyard as a child or investigating the link between algae and avian botulism after college, I have always loved exploring the world and learning more about it.

Growing up around the Great Lakes, I have been acutely aware of the issues affecting freshwater. My current research uses ecological stoichiometry, a framework using elemental ratios, to understand how variations in nutrient use among a small group of organisms can have an effect on entire ecosystems.
