Dr. Craig M. Lind, Ph.D., is a physiological ecologist and associate professor of biology at Stockton University in Galloway, New Jersey, where he teaches courses in physiology, biodiversity, and ecology. He received his master’s degree in biology at Cal Poly in the lab of Dr. Emily Taylor, and his Ph.D. in biology at the University of Arkansas in the lab of Dr. Steven Beaupre. His graduate work focused on the relationship between environment, energetics, and reproductive hormones in rattlesnakes. His postdoctoral work with Dr. Terry Farrell at Stetson University focused on the interaction between disease, energetics, and reproduction in pygmy rattlesnakes. Currently he works as part of a collaborative team focused on understanding the causes and consequences of ophidiomycosis in North American snake populations. His lab at Stockton focuses on the involvement of undergraduate students in research aimed at providing a mechanistic understanding of reptile disease coping strategies, with the goal of informing conservation and management strategies for at-risk snake populations.
