I am broadly interested in the drivers, consequences, and evolution of animal societies
My research leverages a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach, long-term field research, and a variety of statistical tools to ask questions about societies and groups across taxa in ecology and evolutionary biology
Animal Behavior & Networks
Evolution & Natural Selection
Collaboration & Mentoring Through collaboration with peers and mentoring undergraduates in the field and lab, I've worked on a variety of topics and questions:
Science Policy Leveraging both science for policy and policy for science, I have published a number of peer-reviewed policy memos, served as a science advisor to elected leaders, and currently served on the Board of Directors for the non-profit Organization of Biological Field Stations and as an Assistant Editor in Chief at the Journal of Science Policy and Governance.
