March 18, 2026

Congratulations to Brooke Bodensteiner (Ph.D. 2024, Yale EEB), who has been awarded the Early Career Investigator Award from the American Society of Naturalists! This prestigious award recognizes outstanding contributions to ecology and evolution. During her doctoral work at Yale and now as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Alabama, Brooke has studied thermal adaptation across levels of biological organization, from populations to species and lineages. Her work combines field, comparative, and experimental approaches to understand how organisms respond to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales. This award highlights both the impact of her research and her promise as a rising leader in the field.
