Jeremy Adkins is a Ph.D. student driven by a passion for teaching and applied research. They aim to use landscape genomics to explore adaptive plant traits in eucalyptus and longleaf pine, co-create a climate-resilient forest management tool with land managers, and further develop their teaching portfolio. Jeremy’s past research has focused on plant traits and ecophysiology strategies in Piñon-Juniper woodlands. During their undergraduate work, they looked at water status regulation of mature two-needle piñon and oneseed juniper. Then, during their master’s work, they examined intraspecific variation in whole-plant seedling strategies in single-leaf pinyon. Their broad focus is on climate-informed land management and enhancing access to environmental science for historically marginalized communities. Jeremy finds balance outside academia by indulging in bouldering, jamming on the violin, and adventuring with friends and family.
