Hello friends 😊 I’m Sara! I am a #SCIENTIST mama who loves to study the behavior and chemical ecology of predator-prey interactions. I’m a prof at @penn_state in @PSU_Entomology and ecology! #womeninSTEM
Interested in chemical ecology? Consider attending the international short course offered this year in Jena, Germany! events.gwdg.de/event/1003/ #ecology #plantinsectecology #trophicinteractions 🐛🕷️🦍🧍👩🏽🔬
