About
I am a graduate student in the Enquist lab at the University of Arizona. I am interested in the dynamics and statistical properties of biological networks. I am studying 1) information flow pathways in ant colonies and 2) the relationship between leaf venation and plant function. I am also interested in improving K-12 science education through experiential and inquiry based approaches that involve students in the discovery process.
