Background
Julann is currently working as a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow. She is interested in integrating toxicology with ecological factors to find feasible ways of protecting biodiversity from chemical and anthropogenic impacts. Julann received a B.S. in Environmental Science from Huxley College of Environmental Studies at Western Washington University and a Ph.D. in Toxicology from the Graduate Center for Toxicology at the University of Kentucky.
Current Research
Julann conducts life-history modeling to investigate how toxicity endpoints, such as growth or fecundity, differ in population-level effects. Population responses will be modified by the life history characteristics of the species of interest. Life history models are applied to NMFS toxicity data regarding important or endangered fish species to determine how toxicity-induced biological responses may translate to population-level impacts. Applications of Julann's research could provide guidance for various remediation practices, and also help scientists identify sensitive stages in the species of interest
