Emmett Interdisciplinary Program on Environment and Resources
Meghan is a PhD student in the Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment & Resources, working to advance tools and methods for using environmental DNA (eDNA) to characterize marine biodiversity. Her work, at the intersection of biological oceanography and science & technology studies, seeks to center the human context of eDNA monitoring; she hopes to research both new scientific applications of eDNA as well as how stakeholders--from scientists to the general public--think about and engage with these applications. Prior to her doctoral work, she earned an MPhil in Nature, Society, and Environmental Governance at Oxford and a BS in Environmental Systems Engineering at Stanford.
