Excited to share that I’ve started a new position with @bu-igs.bsky.social where I will be venturing into the fields of climate, energy, and health while building relationships with non-academic partners to ensure BU science makes an impact in MA!

On @revealnews.org's “More To The Story,” climate change activist @billmckibben.bsky.social examines the remarkable growth of renewable energy and why it gives us a chance to fight climate change. It’s the most optimistic 30 minutes you’ll hear all week: tinyurl.com/3ztc2w34

Another impressive alum sharing their research on our urban environment! Check out @k8eatherton.bsky.social's paper in Nature Cities (www.nature.com/articles/s44...), "Behind the Paper" blog post (communities.springernature.com/posts/the-dy...) , or coverage at WBUR (www.wbur.org/news/2025/10...).

🌳 Big news! My paper “Disruption of the oak tree microbiome with urbanization” is now out in Nature Cities! 🏙️🌿 Cities are full of life we don’t see, including microbes that live in and on trees. 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s442...

Ever since I started my graduate school career, I've known I want to work in science policy for the federal government, but right now that possibility is looking less and less likely each day. Thanks so much to @vivianla.bsky.social for doing such a wonderful job telling this story!
