Mattea Berglund
Mattea’s current research investigates how environmental conditions impact the salmon microbiome (the communities of microscopic organisms that live on and inside salmon), with the goal of better understanding how habitat change impacts salmon health.

Kira Miller
The emergent fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) causes the amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, yet susceptibility to this disease varies among amphibian hosts.

Sean Cummings
As a science communicator, I seek out the most impactful stories in science across a broad range of fields and translate them into accessible and engaging forms for non-scientist audiences.

Rae Taylor-Burns
We used traditional engineering tools to assess how marsh restoration can reduce flood risk from climate change in San Francisco Bay.

Andrés Patino
I’m investigating how chytridiomycosis, a lethal amphibian disease caused by the fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), is affecting the amphibian populations in habitats within the city of San Francisco.
