Land use changes, farm management practices, water pollution, climate change, and other human activities all threaten our natural resources here in Indiana and throughout the Midwest. The Natural Resources Social Science Lab (NRSS) that I lead at Purdue studies how human interactions with the environment impact natural resources. Our lab’s research, teaching, and engagement focus primarily on how to best motivate farmers, stakeholders, and citizens of all kinds to participate in more environmentally friendly behaviors and practices.

The NRSS lab supports Purdue’s commitment to diversity and welcomes individuals of all ages, backgrounds, citizenships, disability, sex, education, ethnicities, family statuses, genders, gender identities, geographical locations, languages, military experience, political views, races, religions, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, and work experiences.  Several members of the lab (including me) have completed Safe Zone training.

I also Direct the Indiana Water Resources Research Center and you can learn more about that work here.

Spent a ridiculous amount of time today formatting a memo with a fancy footer (@LauraBowling11 can vouch for how nice it was). Sent it to folks to sign & got a giant mess scanned back to me - random lines all over the place and the footer is totally gone. But I got the signature.

Best internship procedures I've graded this morning: "First, wake up at 5am to start your day. Then a couple snooze buttons later, get out of bed at around 6am." I feel this. And appreciated the chuckle.
