About Me
I recently moved from Boston to help build and launch Petridish, and I'm excited to introduce a new way to help researchers fund fascinating work and give the public a way to connect with scientists!
I have an avid interest in social sciences, ecology, physics, and anthropology.

In the vast abyss of the deep-sea, where light cannot penetrate and productive habitats are scarce, sound could play key ecological roles, but these soundscapes have never been studied. You can be the first to listen!

We used to think that estrogen pollution was mainly an issue in agricultural areas. But it is becoming clear that there may be significant contamination right in our backyards.
