Postdoc studying spider locomotion at U Chicago with Jasmine Nirody. Interested in sexual selection, biomechanics, thermal ecology, and the tradeoffs between them. Spreading spider love figuratively and literally!
Really excited to be starting as an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Sciences at Grand Valley State University! Looking forward to get back to teaching and starting an undergrad-focused research program asking questions about how spiders move and communicate! Watch this space for updates!

After an amazing day at the Georgia Aquarium, excited for #SICB2025 to get underway! I'll be speaking about jumping spider locomotion, and why it's weird (and cool) on Tuesday the 7th in the "Moving on Up" session at 10:30 am. Lots of great talks in that session!

Any of my SICB pals going this year who might want to spend a day at the Georgia Aquarium? Planning to spend the day of the 6th at the aquarium, and I may be able to get a second discounted ticket!

Hello! I’m a postdoc at U Chicago studying biomechanics, and animal communication. My paper with @natashamhatre.bsky.social is out in PNAS! Read on for thrills of acoustic tools, chills of models that take a week to run, excitement of uncovering acoustics misconceptions! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
