About Me
|
I am a botanist and historian of science who uses field, lab, and museum-based scientific methods combined with historical research to study how humans have shaped patterns in botanical biodiversity through time and space. Through this research, I hope to better understand the complex and evolving relationship between plants and people and increase the knowledge of--and appreciation for--botanical biodiversity in everyday life. I am particularly interested in how people have impacted plant distributions through species introductions. I am also working on the systematics of Verbascum (Scrophulariaceae).
I began my graduate studies with Lena Struwe at Rutgers University and am currently completing my PhD in Organismic & Evolutionary Biology at the Harvard University Herbaria with Charles Davis as a NSF Graduate Research Fellow. |
