Kaysee Arrowsmith is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Biology at the University of Washington, where she studies how environmental variation impacts plant-pollinator communities. She has a bachelor’s degree in environmental science from the University of California, Berkeley and a master’s degree in environmental policy from Columbia University. In her free time, Kaysee enjoys reading, cooking and finding the best beers the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

 Kaysee is interested in how environmental conditions influence patterns of interaction between plants and insect pollinators. She primarily studies these patterns at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, where she spends summers catching insects for several observational field studies across variable environments. She is also interested in developing predictive tools to understand how climate change will influence the distribution of plants, pollinators and interactions between them.
