I am a PhD candidate at the University of Minnesota, researching climate change and vegetation in arctic tundra. I’ve spent my last four summers sampling plants under the midnight sun of Alaska’s North Slope. As much as I love fieldwork, I’m thrilled to spend this summer in pretty much the opposite environment: downtown Manhattan as a fellow at Scientific American. When I’m not doing research, you can usually find me writing sci-comm articles, paddling a canoe in northern Minnesota, or birdwatching.
