our research
Exploring the mechanisms of social behavior in a changing environment
How do organisms perceive the world, communicate with others, and organize to affect change in their environment? From genes to groups, we study how animals balance social and ecological information to determine collective action.
Major themes of our research
Outreach & Engagement
We use our research to bring knowledge, passion, and excitement about science to the communities around us, including underserved communities as well as workers like beekeepers and farmers, all of whom can benefit immensely from our work!
