- W3083495178 abstract "André Green was recently named a National Geographic Explorer. He received a President's Postdoctoral Fellowship (University of Michigan), an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology, and an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. With whom and where did you study? I earned my BS in Biology at MIT, completed my PhD thesis in Drosophila EvoDevo with Cassandra Extavour at Harvard, and began working with monarch butterflies with Marcus Kronforst at the University of Chicago. I continued this study first a postdoctoral fellow at UM (mentored by Trisha Wittkopp) and now as an assistant professor. What got you interested in Biology? When did you know EvoDevo was for you? Late in my undergraduate study, I recognized my draw toward the big picture questions of “pure” science versus the focus on application in engineering. As I re-evaluated my driving intellectual interest, I landed upon a group of papers coming out at the time that now may be considered classic studies in EvoDevo that sought to identify the specific molecular/genetic basis, even down to single nucleotide changes, responsible for phenotypic evolution in laboratory (Drosophila) and natural (stickleback, deer mice, and Darwin's finches) populations. I found this remarkable—and still do. I was finally sold on EvoDevo after meeting my eventual PhD advisor Cassandra Extavour in my first year of graduate school. In my opinion, EvoDevo does the best job of the various biological disciplines in demonstrating the interconnection between different levels of biological organization, from molecules and cells to individuals and populations. Not only do I find such models intellectually satisfying, I think they are also powerful teaching tools. I aim to develop such models in my own work. Which achievement are you most proud of? I feel incredibly gratified each time one of my students gives a poster presentation or delivers an invited talk or is recognized for some achievement they have made while in the lab. Perhaps the pinnacle (to date) is an email from a former undergraduate student who worked with me. He wrote that while walking through the park, he found himself interacting with his surroundings differently, “thinking very much like an evolutionary biologist” and observing things he may not have before noted. His message made me especially proud to be in academia and have impact in this particular way. How do you engage the public in your work? I purposefully chose monarch butterflies as an initial study system so that my work would explicitly dovetail with my interests in science education and promoting diversity within evolutionary, ecological, and environmental sciences. I am keen to capitalize on the fact that the monarch is the subject of numerous robust citizen science efforts across North America. I have relished the opportunity to engage many different groups of people, from elementary school children to senior naturalist groups in urban or rural communities, about my work and science more broadly. A key goal of mine now is to implement strategies to broaden the profile of participants in the network of monarch-related programming, with particular focus on people of color, and to leverage the unique opportunity for international and cross-cultural collaboration. What is your experience with setting up and running an EvoDevo lab? My position began in January 2020 and within 12 weeks UM had completely ceased research operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Less than 12 weeks after that, the world would erupt in powerful protest for racial justice. That it has been a unique moment to start a lab is an understatement. I have had to completely reimagine my approach to my 1st year. Reading, planning, and writing as much as I can have become my primary efforts. I have also thought more broadly about how we might bring to our monarch work resources that are potentially underutilized in insect EvoDevo, such as digitized museum specimens or citizen science records. Overall, I appreciate the peculiarity of this moment and hope it bolsters my resilience to future challenges that I will surely encounter." @default.
