I will be recruiting for both PhD and postdoc positions soon! So if you are interested in thermal physiology, global change, immunology, disease ecology, and the conservation of amphibians, stay tuned!

Taking advantage of the gray tree frogs that decided to lay eggs in my student’s summer lily pad #research and setting up a new project for my #herpetology students! We will be exploring the idea that #tadpoles are more of an #omnivore than an #herbivore. #ScienceTwitter #cute

AND WE’RE BACK! The first episode of season two is now live - featuring not one, not two, but FOUR incredible guests! Thank you to Austin, Kira, Kassandra, and Mackenzie for taking the time to join us and share their experiences as ace individuals in STEM!

Progress update the tadpoles for my class’s research project: they are starting to get front legs! #research #ScienceTwitter #ClassroomResearch #UndergraduateResearch #tadpole #Herptology #AlmostAFrog

I’m a major snow nerd, so here is the break down for today in Charlotte. Mostly stellar dendrites and some graupel (little snowballs). Makes sense since it is still pretty warm, allows the dendrites to grow! #PhysicsOfSnow #Science #SnowDay

Green lizards turn quickly to brown. In seconds, to green they rebound. Not to dodge predation Or for thermoregulation But to send social signals, we found. See the full story in Behav Ecol Soc w/ Daisy Horr, Amy Payne Kira McEntire here (open access!): rdcu.be/c7o0V

oh wow look at that, my first paper! 🥳🦎 This was the first project that made me excited about studying animal behavior and made me want to be a field biologist. Happy to have had an amazing undergrad mentor Dr. Michele Johnson to help me see this through :) link.springer.com/article/10.100…
