The Revelator - Karen Sime

Karen Rachel Sime

is a faculty member in the Biological Sciences Department at SUNY Oswego. A parasitoid biologist, she started working with the bog buck moth when she moved from California to central New York in 2008. Her field research initially focused on an egg parasitoid that attacks the New York populations, but she soon fell victim to the buck moth’s charms and has incorporated study of its biology into her research as well.
