ULL Graduate Student, Kimberly Hamm
This month we salute Kimberly Hamm. Kimberly is a graduate student at UL Lafayette, pursuing a PhD in Environmental and Evolutionary Biology in the lab of Dr. Mark Genung, a pollinator ecologist. Her research seeks to understand the effects of urban warming on plant-pollinator relationships. She has received funding for her research from the Louisiana Native Plant Society. She has a Bachelors in Anthropology from UL Lafayette and MS in Ecological Restoration from the University of Florida, with an emphasis on coastal prairies. An Acadiana Master Naturalist and Birder, she has also worked at the Acadiana Nature Station as science educator and as a research assistant at the Wetland and Ecology Center. She has been a regular volunteer with UL Ecology Center's Pure Native seed bank and produced new plant labels for ANPP's demonstration garden in Arnaudville and the PureNative demo garden at UL Lafayette. More recently she has been on ANPP's prairie kit propagation team Sunday mornings at the Ecology Center. Her yard has also been designated a gold-level Louisiana Certified Habitat.
