Ecologist, student, queer scientist

I am a graduate student in the Mehring Lab at the University of Louisville, currently studying leaf-cutting ants (Atta spp.) methane emissions in Costa Rica.

​It is that range of biodiversity that we must care for - the whole thing - rather than just one or two stars.
