Welcome!

My name is Brady Nichols and I am in the third year of my PhD in the Animal Behavior Graduate Group (ABGG) and the Combes Lab at the University of California, Davis. I got my undergraduate degree in 2024 from Bowdoin College in mathematics and physics, with a minor in biology. Currently, I’m interested in how unsteady winds affect insect ecology. Here you can read more about myself or my research, or check out my blog.

(Above: Damselflies (order Zygoptera) are close relatives of Dragonflies (order Anisoptera) and have many interesting predation behaviors. I can't recall when I found this one, but they are all over the place in the summer if you look around.)
