I worked with community college, undergraduate and high school students to establish the Boulder Chickadee Study from: nest box building, chickadee wrangling, and project design.

As a mentor I train independent thinkers through hands-on experience with the entire scientific process. I mentor students in developing their own research questions, troubleshooting methods, and thinking critically about their work.

I have mentored students in independent research studying:

How chickadees look to chickadees

What chickadee nestlings eat

What chickadee nests are made of, and how well they insulate eggs
