I earned my BA in Zoology from Oxford University, where I participated in expeditions to New Zealand, Tanzania and Mexico, and spent a lot of time rowing. I then earned my PhD in\u00a0Behavioral Ecology from Cornell University. During that time, I spent nearly two years living in Papua New Guinea, and dabbled in triathlons. I completed my first postdoc in Evolutionary Ecology at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) in Santa Barbara, California, and a second postdoc in Integrative Ecology at the\u00a0Estaci\u00f3n Biol\u00f3gica de Do\u00f1ana in Sevilla, Spain, where I experienced the joys and frustrations of living and working in my second\u00a0language. In 2010, I moved back to\u00a0the States and joined Boston University as a professor of Evolutionary Ecology and Marine Ecology.\u00a0Since moving to Boston, I&#8217;ve become a half-decent salsa dancer and started to meditate. I&#8217;m a firm believer that the diversity of our experiences influences the questions we ask and the way we work: only an Englishman\u00a0could have uncovered <a href=\"https:\/\/science.sciencemag.org\/content\/303\/5663\/1439.5.abstract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the perfect queue in a social fish<\/a>. The\u00a0rhythm of my writing is\u00a0strongly influenced by the\u00a0rhythm of rowing. And my formulation of hypotheses is more nuanced thanks to the use of the subjunctive mood in Spanish. Currently, I live in Somerville,\u00a0Massachusetts, with my talented Transylvanian-Canadian immigrant wife (but no dog \u2014 yet).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/bustonlab\/publications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Lab Publications<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=LhNPaokAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">(Google Scholar Profile<\/a>; <a href=\"\/bustonlab\/files\/2019\/08\/Buston_CurriculumVitae_20200101x.pdf\">CV<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10365,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/bustonlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/306"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/bustonlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/bustonlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/bustonlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10365"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/bustonlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/306\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1546,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/bustonlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/306\/revisions\/1546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/bustonlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
