Research is an adult response to child-like wonder ~ Nicholas Frank

Welcome to my website! My students and I study plant-pollinator interactions, with a focus on bees. We work with the community to conserve pollinators and promote public understanding of science. I collaborate with my students in their learning, inspiring them to think analytically about the world's wonders.

Research in my lab centers on the ecology and evolution of species interactions and responses to environmental change. Recent projects include (1) impacts of conservation strategies on urban pollination networks in collaboration with citizen scientists using non-traditional methods, (2) the effects of climate variation on plant-pollinator community dynamics, and (3) trait evolution in response to novel environmental conditions.
