so happy to share a chapter from my dissertation is out today in @PNASNews showing that historical redlining, a policy that codified segregation & disinvestment in marginalized neighborhoods, shapes contemporary wildlife biodiversity in California (1/2)

I was interviewed by BBC radio to share my perspective on how the Trump administration’s recent federal funding policies have affected me as an early-career researcher, currently transitioning from a PhD to a postdoc. Thanks for having me @PeaseRoland

I'm so excited to share that my first dissertation chapter on SF coyotes is out in the #OpenAccess journal @ESAEcosphere. We DNA metabarcoded and genotyped hundreds of scats to explore dietary variation across the city 🧬💩🧪

The Eaton Fire in LA decimated my family's homes, i.e., our community and spiritual waypoints for more than 4 generations (myself included). While we are heartbroken, we are resilient. Please consider donating to our GoFundMe to help rebuild (thank you!) gofund.me/6977eb84

out today in @PLOSBiology, we surveyed ~800 EEB scientists and show that contemporary terminology in EEB harms marginalized groups, including along race, gender, sexuality, and class lines.
Check it out!!

My first first-author paper is out! Did you know eye lenses grow in layers throughout life? They can reveal movement and foraging ecology. However, here we show not all fish have the same molecular composition in their lenses—especially sharks! link.springer.com/article/10…

Today's my birthday. I know I missed #GivingTuesday but if folks are done running from the CA tsunami, will you consider donating to help the Humans and Hyenas Alliance purchase a new field vehicle as a bday gift to me? Reviving this effort- thank you!❤️
