I'm a plant ecologist working as a postdoctoral researcher with the Kansas Biological Survey and University of Kansas. My research interests include prairie and grassland plants, as well as mycorrhizal fungi (but those are kind of hard to document here). I've conducted research on native and invasive prairie grasses of the Great Plains (central USA) and milkweeds (Asclepias), but have keen interests in grassland legumes and asters, as well. Hobby interests include birds, arthropods, and herps.
