Teaching and Scholarly Interests

I am interested in how host microbiomes complement organism behaviors in parasitic resistance. My current work centers on microbiomes, kin recognition and cannibalism in insect systems. This work has been incorporated into course curricula and involves participation of underrepresented groups. My teaching philosophy is to cultivate a community of critical thinkers using evidence-based work.
