Research Interest:
Invasive Species, Biodiversity, Landscape Ecology
Fostering critical thinking skills and evidence-based learning in the Next Generation of Scientists (NGOSs).
Communicating science to all citizens.
Research findings: There are many threats to ecosystems such as habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, contaminants, and human encroachment. Still, I think we can do more to improve critical thinking skills, regain trust is science, and restore a conservation ethic around the globe. Improving our communication of science results to the public is as important as the science we conduct.
