Jamie McDevitt-Irwin

I am a PhD student at Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station, where I study marine community ecology in both coral reefs and rocky intertidal ecosystems. I’m primarily interested in how consumers (both herbivores and predators) influence ecological communities. Through teaching, I want to ensure all students experience ownership of hands-on novel research to learn techniques and skills to become more competitive for internships, and help them decide if pursuing a career in science is for them. Outside of work, you can usually find me surfing or reading a book while snuggling my cat.
