Meryl Mims is an associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Virginia Tech and an affiliated faculty member with Virginia Tech's Global Change Center and Invasive Species Collaborative. Meryl received her PhD from the University of Washington in 2015 and held a postdoctoral fellowship with the U.S. Geological Survey before joining the faculty at Virginia Tech. Along with members of her lab, Meryl studies how species' traits interact with the environment to influence populations and communities of organisms and their vulnerability to climate change. Her lab integrates approaches from population genomics to experimental ecology to remote sensing. Her research is largely focused on freshwater organisms, and the questions she and her team pursue are often at the intersection of freshwater ecology and applied conservation biology.
