My primary research focus involves avian ecotoxicology. My Master's project involves the development of a non-lethal method for sampling avian adipose tissue from migrating songbirds in order to detect persistent organic pollutants. Additionally, I am evaluating potential short-term effects of this non-lethal sampling method on songbirds using an outdoor aviary.
