Quantitative Conservation Lab
We aim to provide innovative, data-driven knowledge to guide conservation
Quantitative Conservation Lab
A collaborative, inclusive, and diverse lab
We are facing the sixth mass extinction on our planet. Understanding how accelerated changes impact wild species is key to reversing ongoing declines. My lab’s work sits at the intersection of conservation, ecology, and statistics. Our research aims to guide conservation by studying how habitat and climate change are altering: (1) species demography and behavior; and (2) species interactions. We focus our research on threatened predator and prey species ranging from the Arctic to the tropics.

Lab philosophy
I aim to foster a collaborative, inclusive and diverse lab where we are passionate about science, conservation, and building a sense of community. I will aim to support lab members to envision, implement and publish their research; secure funding; attend conferences; strive for work-life balance, and gain the skills necessary for their desired career paths. I welcome ideas of how I can better support lab members and to contribute towards improving diversity in Science.
I expect lab members to work effectively; to communicate openly and honestly; to maintain a positive attitude (even in the face of failure); to uphold scientific standards; to contribute to open, replicable science (and code); and to lead manuscripts. I expect lab members to attend and participate in lab meetings; to meet with me on a regular basis; to support and mentor each other; and to attend conferences.
Together, we will strive to ensure that all lab members feel safe, respected, supported, and appreciated. We will aim to celebrate our differences and the strength that our diversity brings to the team.
