  mentoring_philosophy: "As mentor, I will be involved in my mentee’s development, by being mindful of their future by fostering skill sets that are valuable not only to their present work but also to their future careers. As I work with my mentee, I will encourage their independence while fostering open communication, and following up with them in their progress, and encouraging problem solving conversations, as this is a necessary skill set for their professional development. One way I will do this is by introducing them to resources that can help them thrive on their own or when I’m not around. Another way is by having them present their work at our lab, and potentially at conferences to get them comfortable talking about their research.\tI like to have regular one-on-one meetings but also allow the mentee to work independently while making sure I am always available.

  overall_research_project_description: "The aim of my project is to examine potential changes of mating behaviors in response to changing conditions in simultaneous hermaphroditic species. Social conditions like partner's recent mating history, environmental conditions like temperature and salinity, and the phenotype of a partner's size will be tested. I'm interested in understanding the effects that these have on reproduction and copulation. "
  please_add_any_additional_information_here: 'I really would love to mentor students that are curious about research and that can help me finish experiments left from my last year of research at FSU. So I need people excited to learn and that are self motivated and enthusiastic. '

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: 'Student may need to participate in experiments that evaluate the relation between the environment and copulation in simultaneous hermaphrodites. Most of the work will involve computer work that includes measuring: 1) body length of experimental individuals, 2) record oviposition, 3) counting the number of egg chains and number of eggs laid, and 4) measuring egg sizes after treatment. All measurement will be performed using a stereoscopic microscope and taking images to be later analyzed using ImageJ. If I have live animals in the lab, then the student will work on husbandry, or caring for the animals 3-5 times per week. This includes: food preparation, feeding, aquaria water changes, and general upkeep, student will have to care for their own animals  and  keeping track of fertilization, egg hatching, and period until hatching. Student may accompany me to the filed once or twice to collect live animals. '
