I'm looking for a graduate student (either PhD or master's) to join my lab starting Jan 2026. If you know any students in social behavior and evolution (and termites!), please let them know!

Today was the last day I will see my students as the semester is over and I'm done teaching. A bit bittersweet

See you all at #Hymathon2024 later today! Can't wait to hear everyone's talks. I submitted a piece for the art competition based on the Social Insect Behavior course I was the teaching assistant for this semester. Make sure to go peruse everyone's wonderful entries!

My advisor referred to the internet as the interwebs today in meeting, and it took every fiber of my being to not tease him about it
