Outreach

Our lab is dedicated to outreach that bridges science and community, including supporting new beekeepers, engaging through science fairs, podcasts, radio, and social media, and giving school presentations on pollinator biology. Undergraduate and graduate students play an active role by establishing observation colonies and delivering educational talks. Together, these efforts aim to raise awareness of the essential role of pollinators and the importance of circadian health for both ecological systems and human well-being.
