About me

Passion for salmon and salmon-ecosystems has been a part of my identity for as long as I can remember. Although trained as an evolutionary ecologist, the work that I and my students do increasingly incorporates the need to sustain not only the salmon and their habitats but also the connections between salmon and people.
