At the moment, I am interested in ecosystem and landscape level ecology in freshwater streams. The ways in which the dynamic physical processes of streams shape their ecology are of particular interest to me. I am working with Mt. Grace Land Trust on a project in which I am conducting macroinvertebrate surveys on a set of small streams with varying levels of anthropogenic disturbance. I want to explore possible relationships between local land use and stream health.\u00a0 Having a clear understanding of the nature of these relationships is imperative to facilitating effective conservation measures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0With the help of Clark, I am planning on attending Wood\u2019s Hole\u2019s Semester In Environmental Science (SES) program in the fall of 2013. There, I will study marine and terrestrial biogeochemistry, and carry out a self-directed research project.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<b>Outside the lab<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Outside of the lab, much of my time is spent making and listening to music. I love playing piano, bass, guitar and various other instruments. On campus, I also play trumpet in Clark\u2019s concert band. When I can, I like to take some time to pursue what originally got me interested in biology: fly fishing. I enjoy spending hours at a stream or pond, actively participating in aquatic ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p><b>Awards<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>LEEP Pioneer Award 2013<\/li>\n<li>Maurine Milburn Fellowship Award 2013<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an undergraduate at Clark I am majoring in Environmental Science (Environmental and Conservation Biology) and have been working with the Foster\/Baker lab since the beginning of my freshman year.\u00a0 In my first year, I worked with stickleback, helping produce &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/foster-baker-lab\/lab-members\/current-laboratory-members\/ph-d-students\/nicholas-pagan-2015\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Nicholas Pagan (&#8217;15) Fifth Year Masters<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":323,"featured_media":0,"parent":1193,"menu_order":120,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full-width-page.php","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1374","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/foster-baker-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/foster-baker-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/foster-baker-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/foster-baker-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/foster-baker-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/foster-baker-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1374\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/foster-baker-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/foster-baker-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
