Dr. Lindsay Newbold

Lindsay has been a key member of the NHMS since its inception, applying her molecular skills to look at the interactions between forage and the landscape. She has a keen interest in looking at how bee gut microbes can influence health and disease prevalence, and how in turn this is impacted by environmental change.

Additionally, she’s investigating ways of improving the plant identification in honey by using alternative sequencing methods and genes. She’s really excited to work on the scheme to answer these big scientific questions at an unprecedented scale, which couldn’t be done without the amazing participants and their incredible foraging friends!
