• Thermal Plasticity and Climate Change

    We are exploring the role of thermal plasticity in organismal responses to climate change. This work is primarily conducted in beetles and butterflies across the globe.

  • Thermal Stress in Amphibians

    We are studying how temperature stress interacts with adrenal and thyroid endocrinology to affect metamorphosis, behavior, and immunity in salamanders.

  • Finding the Wild Within

    We are creating educational short films that compare the diving reflex in humans and wildlife to teach physiology and inspire conservation. Learn more here.
