Professional Biography
As a scientist, I like to answer questions about animals. I study animal behavior and unravel the puzzle of why and how animals behave in different ways. My research journey includes time spent studying primates, elephants, and insects. In addition to research, I am invested in improving science literacy among college students. I teach biology classes for non-biology majors with the aim of training non-scientists how to find, evaluate, and share science information.
