I'll be heading to @sacnas.bsky.social #NDiSTEM later this week to shamelessly plug my soon-to-open lab (Fall 2026). If any students are interested in studying the plant-insect interactions of the Sonoran Desert, please get in touch!

Fascinating talk by Steven Runo today! He flew all the way from Kenya to tell us about his work on the mechanisms of pathogenesis in parasitic plants.

I had the opportunity to visit the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology earlier this week. It was great to explore the diversity of my beloved hawkmoths, most of which I haven't actually seen irl. Pictured here is the Asian death's head moth (Acherontia lachensis)

Grass snakes (Natrix helvetica) are adorable. I found this little guy back in May, shortly after I moved to the UK.
