Mentorship

Mentoring relationships are critical to a scientific career.

​Below are some documents that have been helpful to me in my mentoring relationships so far. If you have feedback, please contact me. I seek continual improvement in the quality of mentorship that I provide to my students.

Paper by Oliver Heerwig and Sofia Jain-Schlaepfer published in Evolutionary Ecology on how lethal prey and innate aversions by predators affect mimicry! (3/27)

Congrats to Oliver on passing his thesis! (12/2021)

Oliver Herwig gave a public talk on his Master's thesis work on the evolution of mimicry when prey are too lethal to learn about! Looking forward to reading his thesis! (11/2021)

Undergraduate Andrea Mason demos a video game that was used to produce the dataset for work published in eLife. Andrea is interested in behavioral ecology, and also biogeochemical processes. She is currently writing up a first-author manuscript on her project that explored how bees assess deceptive flowers.

Andrea was accepted to a PhD program at Brown (3/2021). Congratulations, Andrea!

Congratulations to Dr. Akcali!

Chris Akcali successfully defended his thesis on 3 June 2019! 

During his thesis, Chris and I collaborated on several projects, including whether models experience "chase-away" selection from Batesian mimics, a flavor of Red Queen coevolutionary dynamics.
