I have studied the behavior and physiology of wild animals in the Canadian Yukon, the Kalahari desert, and the wilds of southwestern Ohio or northern Michigan. I enjoy taking a longitudinal approach to my scientific questions where we study individual animals over long periods of time. This allows us to understand how animals respond to fluctuations in their environment, but also how many scientific insights are limited because of the narrow timescale.
I am fascinated with exploration and view my scientific endeavors as an opportunity to explore new frontiers of knowledge. I started studying plants and animals as a kid and have studied the behavior of animals for >20 years now.
I am excited to see where it can take us, how it can generate new insights into understanding animal and human behavior.
