to my homepage! I recently received my PhD from the Department of Biology at the University of Washington (UW), where I worked with Richard Strathmann.
At the UW, and at the UW's beautiful marine station, Friday Harbor Laboratories, I have studied the processes by which marine organisms adapt to their ever changing environment. My research emphasizes questions that will shed light on the evolution, ecology & development of marine planktonic larvae. You can read about my specific research interests by following the "research" link on the left side of this page.
In addition to my research, you can read about my equally important non-academic interests, as well as learn about my travels, friends and family (click here to read about my husband Kevin's research on the southcoast of Peru).
NEWS: My research showing that sand dollar larvae clone themselves in response to predator cues has been featured in the popular press. Here are links to a few of the stories: New Scientist, Live Science, Science Daily, Wired Science, MSNBC, The Why Files, the NY Times, the Seattle Times, Scientific American and Natural History. Click here to listen to a podcast where I discuss the research with a reporter from Science magazine.
And click here to see the most surprising place to mention my research.
By the way... I can't be held responsible for stories like this one... Or hilarious blogs like this one.
Enjoy!
