Echinacea Project 2022 I am an Earth and Planetary Science and Journalism major at Northwestern University in the class of 2025. Research Interests I am interested in studying the effects of interactions between humans and nature on plant fitness, fire cycles. I am also excited to learn more about plant biology and conservation! Statement I am from Geneva, New York. In my spare time I like to hike, travel, read, and spend time outside! Here’s a photo of me hiking in the Adirondacks Echinacea Project 2022 I am a biology major and environmental studies minor at Lake Forest College. After I graduate in Fall’23, I hope to continue working in research labs before I embark on my grad school journey.
I have a wide range of academic interests including, experimental philosophy, neuroscience, environmental justice and conservation. I am an aspiring research scientist and hope to attend grad school for cognitive neuroscience in the future.
I am from Shanghai, China. While growing up, I’ve lived between Shanghai and Chicago. Besides academics, I love nature adventures! This summer I am hoping to learn more about foraging and identifying fungus. I also enjoy swimming, biking and watching theater productions. Echinacea Project 2021 I am part of the Class of 2025 at Carleton College and I plan to major in Environmental Studies. Research Interests In general, I am interested in helping to conserve natural prairie areas through networks and corridors so that they can become more resilient to climate changes. I am also curious about how to connect with stakeholders and landowners to make this happen, but also how to combine my interest in GIS with prairie restoration. Statement I am from Rochester, MN, but my home away from home is our cabin near Lanesboro, where I help to restore the surrounding native prairies, forests, and savannas. I also greatly enjoy hiking the bluffs there with my family and dogs.  Echinacea Project 2021 I am an Environmental Studies major at Carleton College, class of 2023. Research Interests I am interested in studying prairie conservation, as well patch ecology and the effects of fragmentation. I am also very interested in environmental interpretation/education and environmental justice. Statement I am from Mount Prospect, IL. In my spare time I like to hike, backpack, go thrifting, and read. I also play softball, and am on the varsity team at Carleton. I also really enjoy visiting National Parks (Glacier is my favorite). Echinacea Project 2021 My Major: I haven’t decided yet. Educational Institution: Carleton College Expected Graduation Year: 2024 Research Interests I am interested in studying the evolutionary biology of prairie plants and how to better conserve them. Statement I am from Taiyuan, China. In my spare time I like to watch documentaries, walk in nature, read and watch Netflix etc. (Here’s a photo of me) Echinacea Project 2021 B.A. in Biology and Environmental Science, University of Minnesota-Morris, 2021 Research Interests I am interested in studying plant-insect interactions such as the role of pollination in plant fitness, and I’m curious what characteristics of fire make it so beneficial for prairie plants. Statement I am originally from St. Paul, MN, but I’ve spent a lot of time in the land of prairies because I just graduated from college in Morris. In my spare time, I can be found climbing trees, baking cheesecake, and peering at the undersides of leaves looking for insects. At the moment, my favorite insect is the brown mantidfly (Climaciella brunnea). Echinacea Project 2021 My Major, Educational Institution expectedGraduationYear – Yikes – no more majors or masters for me. I will be entering my 33rd or 34th year of teaching nearby at West Central Area Schools. I teach mainly the physical sciences (chem and physics) but am also fortunate to teach some fun electives. Research Interests I am interested in studying … The before and after diversity of both plant and insect (bees) species on prescribed burns. Statement I am from … In my spare time I like to … etc. I am originally from Morris, MN but have spent the majority of my life right here on the prairie. Currently i live in Elbow Lake, about 20 miles north of Echinacea Project base camp. I am married to Chris who is an elementary teacher. I have 4 kids ranging in age from 19- 24, two of them currently in college and one of them a two year Team Echin Project member. In my spare time i enjoy taking out my two dogs (pictured) hitting local prairies or bird watching and finding ice cream shops on our summer road trips in the Bombus — mobile. I have always been so impressed by the quality of young people the Echin Project has year after year and am looking forward to this season too. (Here’s a photo of my dogs Clyde and Lilly and me below)   Team Echinacea 2021 I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Chicago Botanic Garden. I joined the Echinacea Project in 2014 as a Research Intern. Before returning to Team Echinacea this winter, I finished up my PhD at UW-Madison in 2020. Research Interests I am a plant ecologist and conservation biologist. My research investigates how fire influences the plant reproduction and population dynamics in fragmented prairies. Statement In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors: birding; botanizing; exploring the natural world by foot, bike, and canoe; and working on restoration projects. My fascination with ducks borders on obsession.  Echinacea Project 2021 B.S. Environmental Science – University of North Carolina Wilmington 7th Grade Science Teacher – Andrew Jackson Middle School, Titusville, FL Research Interests I am excited to learn more about how fire affects prairie remnants. Statement I am from Melbourne, FL, but I grew up in Sun Prairie, WI. In my free time I love to hike with my husband and my dog, cook and bake, read, and anything that involves being on the water! Here’s a photo of me! Echinacea Project 2021 Biology Major, College of Wooster 2022 Research Interests I am interested in learning all I can about plant and insect interactions and using this knowledge to inform conservation efforts. I especially like bees, and I’m excited to gain some new identification skills this summer! Statement I am from Louisville, Kentucky. In my free time I like to find new places to hike, hang out with my dogs, bake, and watch as many movies as I can. |
