Hello and welcome! Thanks for checking out my Blog!

I’m a graduate student at Oregon State University working in Dr. Andrew Blaustein’s amphibian disease ecology lab. My research focuses on the many complexities in interactions between disease, the environment, and the immune system; but that won’t be the focus of this blog.

I hope to provide a log of both the experience of being an amphibian disease scientist, as well as a log of how the actual research is carried out. I may also, from time to time, post cute photos of my dog Leia, because I can’t help myself.

Thanks for joining me!
