Research Experience

Postdoctoral Scholar

To what extent do students from rural backgrounds demonstrate evidence of anthropocentric thinking and how do they compare to students at urban institutions?
Assess faculty metacognitive awareness of their use of anthropocentric language in biology explanations.
Measure the extent to which instructor talk, language used during a lecture that is unrelated to course content, positively or negatively influences students

Graduate Research

Identify the mechanisms of how ocean acidification impacts Crassostrea gigas during settlement
Estimating the adaptive capacity of marine shellfish to ocean acidification and hypoxia
Measuring the vulnerability and adaptive potential of two important local Oregon crustaceans to ocean acidification
