Jane Fudyma
A virus needs a host to persist, and in soil, it is thought that viruses control biogeochemical cycles through the microbial hosts they infect.

Anusha Bishop
I study how evolution plays out across landscapes with the goal of determining species vulnerability to environmental change.

Johannah Farner
Understanding how temperature drives disease occurrence in nature will enable timely anticipation, prevention, and responses to shifting landscapes of disease risk in an era of rapid environmental change.
