Jessica Hua currently is the Principal Investigator of the Hua Lab and Director of the Center for Integrated Watershed Studies at Binghamton University in New York. In both roles, she seeks to understand the ecological and evolutionary consequences of human activities on wetland ecosystems, and to broadly communicate research findings via outreach and engagement efforts with community partners at the local, state, national, and international levels. Since 2014, the Hua lab has worked with local school districts, state agencies, local PBS stations, community groups, and science museums across Upstate New York and Pennsylvania’s rural communities to educate and engage diverse audiences in wetlands preservation. In the fall of 2022, Dr. Hua’s lab group is transitioning to the University of Wisconsin-Madison where they will continue pursuing these missions.
