About me
I am passionate about all things related to wild reptiles and amphibians. In particular, my research program seeks to leverage their unique evolutionary histories and an understanding of standing adaptive capacity to better predict how at risk species may respond to an ever changing world. I am especially interested in applying "-omic" approaches (e.g., , transcriptomics, metabarcoding, long read sequencing, epigenetics) to gain insight into the relationship between genomic architecture, environmental variation and life history of reptiles and amphibians in Madagascar and southwest Appalachia.
