Cody L. Barnes
Welcome
I am Cody Barnes. I am presently a Regulatory Project Manager (Biologist; Civilian) with the United States Army Corps of Engineers. My research and professional interests span a diverse range of taxa, from mammals to amphibians, and I hope to delve even deeper into interdisciplinary ecological experiences. Further, I am also interested in applying technological solutions for increasing our knowledge of ecosystems. Lastly, I strongly support opportunities to grow diversity, inclusion, and equity in STEM. I have worked with the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) towards this aim.
​
My teaching philosophy aims to guide students in the application of the inquiry-based and active-learning strategies. Such strategies are integral for effectively educating the next generation of scientists and empowering learning from a diversity of perspectives. Further, my mentoring philosophy focuses on strengthening links between in-class learning and authentic research experiences, both in the laboratory and the field. In this capacity, I strive to guide students through early applied research experiences with the intention of developing impactful and inclusive leaders in our communities.

I now suspect that just as a deer herd lives in mortal fear of its wolves, so does a mountain live in mortal fear of its deer.
