the ant life

Tell me a story of science & discovery...

I have always considered the ability to communicate science to a variety of audiences as important as the act of doing science. Scientific findings should be accessible to everyone and so I made it my goal to make the stories of science and discovery surrounding ants broadly available.

I have developed a suite of teaching materials and resources.
