About Me
My name is Jewel Johnson, a first-year Ph.D. student at Ball State University. My research focuses on embryonic communication in fathead minnow fish. I employ behavioral experiments and network-based diffusion modeling to explore how embryos interact within a clutch and the sensory pathways involved in these social behaviors.
