My research applies principles and tools of population genetics/omics to fish, wildlife, and a variety of other taxa, including invasive species and parasites that are threatening native ecosystems and regional economies. My lab aims to develop and apply novel field sampling methods, DNA typing techniques, and data analysis approaches to understand landscape connectivity, adaptation to climate change, invasive species control (including pathogens), and the negative effects of inbreeding depression and hybridization on individual fitness and population viability."

Opera Double-bill: "L’Enfant et les sortilèges & Rusalka" (Act 3)
Arts/Entertainment
USU Opera Theatre will close their 2024-2025 season with a fun multi-part program of opera and musical theatre favorites highlighting all our students with two full programs produced over three nights April 10-12, at 7:30 in the Morgan Theatre.
On April 10 & 12 we will present what we could best be described as an “Opera Creature Feature double-bill”. On this program we will perform all of Ravel’s comedic one-act opera L’Enfant et les sortilèges followed by the final act of Dvorák's tragic retelling of the classic Little Mermaid story in his opera Rusalka.
L’Enfant et les sortilèges (“The Child and the Spells”), with music by Maurice Ravel and libretto by Colette, tells the story of a bad child that has a bad day when everything around him comes alive to teach him a lesson about respect and responsibility. Rusalka (“The Water Nymph”), with music by Antonín Dvorák and libretto by Jaroslav Kvapil, narrates the original version of the Little Mermaid fairytale, albeit one that doesn’t quite end happily-ever-after. Both selections will be sung in their original languages of French and Czech with piano accompaniment in a semi-produced format.

LAEP Speaker Series: Todd Mead, What is this Beautiful Place?
Lecture/Readings
Speaker Bio Originally from Wisconsin, Todd has lived and worked in Colorado and California for over forty years. Early life in a small town on the Wolf River introduced him to the experience of nature as a playground, as an escape, and as series of evolving places. Spurred by observations of human caused environmental degradation, Todd found landscape architecture as means of melding ecological reparation with art, while studying geology and native plant community restoration in the midwest. Drawn to wilder environments, Todd moved west immediately after undergraduate school, eventually joining Civitas and remaining there for more than twenty years. Emerging opportunities for change lead him to join Peter Walker Partners (PWP) in Berkeley, and later the Office of Cheryl Barton (O|CB) in San Francisco. Now with SCAPE in their San Francisco office, he applies decades of experience in a collaborative team-focused approach, blending critical design thinking with problem-solving and mentoring. His project experience varies in scale, complexity, and budget—including urban parks and gardens; educational, medical, and corporate campuses; waterfronts; and urban infill redevelopments.
Science Unwrapped: Celebrate Undergrad Research - Mathematicians Matt Young and Seth Porter
Panel Discussion/Presentation | Science Unwrapped
Science Unwrapped, the public STEM outreach program of USU's College of Science, invites inquiring of minds of all ages to participate in science learning fun. Admission is free. Each event begins with a brief science talk following by hands-on learning activities and refreshments.
Our Spring 2025 theme is "Celebrate Undergrad Research" in recognition of USU's 2025 "Year of Undergraduate Research."
April 11 Speakers: Mathematicians Matt Young, faculty member in USU’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics, and undergraduate researcher Seth Porter, conduct research to define and compute algebraic invariants of knots in a three-dimensional vector space. A knot is an embedding of a circle into a three-dimensional space. A knot invariant is a quantity assigned to a knot that remains the same for any other knot that is topologically equivalent to it. Matt and Seth will “untangle” this concept, while explaining the benefits of getting involved in undergraduate research.

Moyle Q. Rice Lecture Series on Writing
Lecture/Readings
Moyle Q. Rice was a professor of English here at USU for 45 years, retiring in 1982. He was beloved by students and faculty, many of whom have donated to support this lecture series and celebrate the memory of his teaching and dedication to students. Among other courses, Professor Rice taught composition, and so the Moyle Q. Rice Lecture Series celebrates the importance of writing in society. It is highly fitting that for our first speaker we welcome back Dr. Rachel Bryson, a graduate of our PhD program in Technical Communication and Rhetoric—and a dedicated teacher of composition. Dr. Bryson’s talk, “Why We Write: Collaboration, Community, and Transformation,” will be held on Friday, April 18 from 1:30-2:30 in the Mehdi Heravi Center, room 201 (the Carolyn Tanner Irish Pavilion) and on Zoom. Light refreshments will be served. https://usu-edu.zoom.us/my/buyserie Zoom ID: 582 092 5984 Passcode: 352436
LAEP Speaker Series: Heather Henry, The Right Place and the Right Home - The Right Solution
Lecture/Readings
About the Lecture When every turn of the channel, the page, or swipe of the screen shrieks about the breadth and depth of the housing crisis, it can be easy to insist that the solution simply lies in building more. Build it anywhere, at all cost. History tells us this cannot and does not work. As builders, developers, designers, and planners we have the power to make better decisions. And we all know with great power comes great responsibility (thanks, Spiderman). We’ll explore multiple case studies for how to make choices about the right places, right types of homes, and right creative programs to bring lasting housing solutions to bear in all types of communities.

Logan Canyon Winds

Join the Logan Canyon Winds for a unique and dynamic program showcasing a blend of classic and unexpected chamber repertoire.
The centerpiece of the evening features Beethoven’s Quintet for Piano and Winds, a lively and elegant work that highlights the rich interplay between instruments. The program also includes Carl Nielsen’s Serenata in vano, a whimsical quintet for clarinet, bassoon, horn, cello, and bass. As Nielsen himself described, the piece playfully portrays a group of musicians attempting (and failing) to serenade a lady, ultimately shrugging off their efforts and marching home with a tune of their own amusement.
With a mix of humor, virtuosity, and uncommon instrumental combinations, this concert offers a rare departure from the ensemble’s usual repertoire. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear a special performance by the Logan Canyon Winds and their faculty guests.
