opportunities for students interested in applying math skills to real-world problems. Each year she covers the modeling process and techniques, then asks students what they’re interested in. “It’s an ocean of knowledge,” she said. “You can pretty much model anything.” In her own research, Zhu uses math to understand underlying mechanisms in developmental biology, such as pattern formations in butterflies, the kind of unexpected application that opens students’ minds to possible connections—not only between

what you can build from it, or what patterns you can find and connections you can make. When did you decide on environmental studies? My Writing 101 course was “Evolutionary Biology and Taxonomy.” The purpose of the class was to learn scientific technical writing, but I was surprised at how arbitrary taxonomy is. That got me interested in animal studies and a critical lens of the sciences, which is why I added environmental studies. The first thing I noticed on the bus from the airport [in Oxford
