I grew up birding and herping the Southwest USA (Albuquerque & Tucson) and moved to Madison WI in late 2022 for a postdoc at UW. My PhD was on evolutionary physiology of deer mice, but right now I'm studying host-parasite coevolution in three-spined stickleback. I've previously worked with yellow-rumped warblers, pinyon jays, rosy-finches, and the Rio Grande silvery minnow.

I rarely post my bird observations here, those are all on eBird: https://ebird.org/profile/OTQyMjA/US
