Sophie Mintz

Undergraduate researcher

I am a senior majoring in Human Biology, Health & Society at Cornell University. After taking the Honey Bee course with Dr. Marina Caillaud at Cornell (ENTOM 2030 – Honey Bees: Their Intriguing Biology and Interactions with Humans and More), I developed a deeper appreciation for bees and became interested in conservation research, which led me to join the Danforth Lab. In the lab, I enjoy contributing to research, outreach, and fieldwork focused on pollinator conservation through Project GNBee. Outside of the lab, I enjoy spending time with friends, playing footvolley, running, and exploring new places to eat.
