• Biography

  I get excited about helping students from all backgrounds discover their inner scientist by exploring real problems with real data. As a long term team member and current Director of the Animal Diversity Web, I have been interested in exploring ways to structure data for querying and engage students in discovering patterns and diversity in the natural history of animals. I currently teach introductory biology courses at Colorado State University and am constantly on the hunt for new ways to help students understand how much science and biodiversity is a part of their every day lives. My background in bat genetics and systematics makes me especially enthusiastic about any bat-related news and I still occasionally get into the field to work with these amazing creatures!
