Rebecca Doty, Ph.D. is a mom of two young girls and an associate biology professor at a small college in Pennsylvania.

Her love of the outdoors comes from a childhood where her parents encouraged hiking, gardening, bird watching, and catching crayfish in a nearby creek. Her knowledge of spring wildflowers comes from the supportive professors she had at Binghamton University.
