Dr. Breitman research is focused on (1) exploring the biodiversity and urban ecology of reptiles and amphibians in urban forests under different management treatments, (2) next-generation teaching: designing and implementing scientifically based teaching and peer-mentoring approaches for different class/lab settings, and (3) providing AUM undergraduate students with authentic research experiences tailored to their career goals (including octopuses biomechanics, human dental research, collection management, and more!). Dr. Breitman and other amazing collaborators @ AUM have developed Flight School, which is a very successful mentoring program that increases the skills of students by supporting and training mentors and faculty. Dr. Breitman welcomes and celebrates everyone’s ideas! If you are interested in research and/or mentoring, please reach out to Dr. Breitman!
