NIH Loan Repayment Program: Contraception and Infertility Research
I am honored to have recently received funding through the NIH Loan Repayment Program (LRP) under the Contraception and Infertility Research (CIR) category. This program is designed to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals in biomedical or biobehavioral research careers. Through the NIH LRP, I will receive support to repay my educational debt in exchange for my commitment to conducting NIH mission-relevant research on infertility and contraception.

Reproductive genomics of the mouse: implications for human fertility and infertility
Genetic analyses of mammalian gametogenesis and fertility have the potential to inform about two important and interrelated clinical areas: infertility and contraception. Here, we address the genetics and genomics underlying gamete formation, productivity and function in the context of reproductive success in mammalian systems, primarily mouse and human.

Citizen science data reveal regional heterogeneity in phenological response to climate in the large milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus
Using data across a species' whole distribution is critical for exposing regional variations, especially for species with large, continental-scale ranges. This study demonstrates the potential of photodocumented biodiversity data to aid in the monitoring of life history, host plant–insect interactions, and climate responsiveness.
