Sarah leads the Comparative Animal Ecophysiology Lab, and her research broadly focuses on understanding how animals work in the context of their environment. Her lab group studies the ecology, physiology, behavior, and evolution of large carnivorous predators (Seals! Whales! Wolves! Oh my!) to understand how individuals, populations, and species are coping with rapidly changing environments. She is an avid and fast reader (mostly fiction books), a COVID-inspired gardener, a slow but steady runner, a world traveler, and mother of two hilarious, busy, and awesome sons.
