Biography
My goal is to help students develop quantitative habits of mind and communication, currently through the lecture/laboratory courses BIOL2201 Form & Function; Microorganisms and BIOL 3111 Environmental Microbiology (Biology Courses).
Check our twitter account for more information on our work and publications on phytoplankton, the basis of aquatic ecosystems, responding to their changing environment.
I collaborate with the Mount Allison Phytoplankton Cluster, Environmental Proteomics and AgriSera AB to measure growth costs and resource allocations across phytoplankton taxa.
