About

I am an integrative biologist interested in using a systems biology approach to improve honey bee health. In addition, I study the effects of pathogens and parasites on bee physiology and behavior to understand the current bee declines. I also use the honey bee as a model organism to study questions related to animal behavior, physiology, and neurobiology with a particular interest in metabolic homeostasis and the metabolic factors involved in the evolution of social behavior.
