In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.
– Baba Dioum
I currently teach the following courses through the Dept of Environmental Conservation:
NRC 360 Evolution & Conservation (Taught every Spring semester)
NRC 590D Marine Conservation Biology & Policy (alternating Fall semesters)

I also co-lead the UMass Amherst Bioinformatics & Big Data in Biology User Group and associated graduate student journal club with Dr. Courtney Babbit. We currently meet ~monthly to share ideas, resources and work on data problems together. We are also developing other opportunities such as workshops and trainings, and maintain an active Slack community and listserv that is open to anyone in the UMass community to join.
