Summary
Annika Salzberg is a PhD candidate at Cornell University with a decade of hands-on experience in agroecology, entomology, and landscape ecology, researching how insect functional traits shift across scales of landscape complexity. Her work spans field research in the Finger Lakes and international collaborations, including fieldwork in Kenya and lab-based pathogen screening for pollinator health. Beyond academia she co-founded an art collective and runs an insect-themed design shop that donates half its proceeds to insect conservation, blending science communication, outreach, and visual design. Skilled in specimen curation, imaging, and R-based data work (including producing a widely used "R for the Intimidated" course), she bridges rigorous ecological research with creative public engagement.
