About Me
Hi, I’m Caitlin Nordheim-Maestas! I’m a fourth-year Ph.D. Candidate who is especially passionate about disease ecology, wildlife conservation, and undergraduate research mentorship.
I am in the Briggs Lab at UC Santa Barbara studying amphibian disease ecology, specifically, the “chytrid fungus” Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, in California.
