Megan has worked across multiple scientific and educational disciplines throughout her career. Her research focuses on the effects of natural and anthropogenic stressors on amphibians and reptiles (including contaminants, hydroperiods, and diseases). At the NWHC, she works with teams that combine field ecology with genetic tools to answer important questions about amphibian and reptile disease dynamics and conservation. Megan has a strong background in science communication, working with communities in Georgia and South Carolina to understand the information presented in state and federal environmental monitoring programs. She has given over 100 educational talks and events that reached over 15,000 individuals annually while at the University of Georgia. She has created curriculum and presentations ranging from native wildlife and habitat conservation to understanding risk associated with environmental contaminants.
