Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiriam Johnston is an ecologist and early-career faculty member who combines a decade of research and teaching to probe how environmental stressors reshape ecosystem structure and function. With a PhD from Harvard and postdoctoral experience applying "big data" approaches at the University of Iowa and Cary Institute, she bridges field ecology, large-scale data synthesis, and quantitative inquiry. As an educator she has led large undergraduate courses in global environmental systems and supported science communication training for teachers, emphasizing active learning and model-based thinking. Now an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, she brings a collaborative, community-minded approach to mentoring and interdisciplinary projects. Less obvious is her track record of translating complex ecological theory into scalable classroom experiences that empower students to design and test their own research questions.
