  • Zuania Colón-Piñeiro is an ecologist interested in understanding how interactions between abiotic and biotic factors shape fitness. In a world where amphibians are declining due to emerging pathogens, she integrates field and lab work with theory to understand host-pathogen-microbiome dynamics in amphibians. She is passionate about mentoring and envisions a future in academia, integrating research, teaching, and outreach to inspire others about science, especially among underrepresented groups.
