National Science Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellowship awarded!

The "mine" of a leafminer on an aspen leaf

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I received an NSF post doctoral fellowship! I will be joining the wonderful lab of Dr. Art Woods at the University of Montana in Missoula early in 2019. Art is a fantastic eco-physiologist and together we will be working on discovering how micro-sclae temperature affects an important little sedentary ecotherm - the leafminer. These moth larvae can wreak havoc on aspen trees in the Rocky Mountains, so understanding their thermal physiology will be beneficial to the management of their populations.
