Assistant Professor at University of Kentucky. Insect conservation, biological control, and sustainable pest management in urban landscapes.
Lexington, KY
Joined March 2019
My last dissertation chapter has been published! We found that tree diversity reduced gloomy scale density on urban red maples, but this effect was not attributable to enhanced biocontrol.

Very impressed with the important work my partner is doing looking at treatment outcomes for BPD in male and female veterans!.
🚨New pub alert🚨.We looked at sex differences in tx outcomes of Veterans in a DBT program! TL; DR? Despite DBT having been mostly validated in female samples, Veteran men reported noninferior and indeed sharper reductions in BPD sx!.Paper linked here:.
