Emily Mohl

Emily Mohl serves as Associate Professor of Biology and Education at St. Olaf College, based in Regents Hall (Natural Science). Her dual appointment bridges scientific research and pedagogical practice within the institution's natural sciences division.

Her scholarly work centers on:

• Evolutionary dynamics in plant-insect systems
• Eco-evolutionary impacts of milkweed on insect communities
• Ecological risk assessment methodologies
• Innovations in science education curriculum development

Dr. Mohl integrates extensive pre-collegiate teaching experience into her academic practice, having instructed English in China, biology at a St. Louis private school, and integrated science at a Chicago charter institution. Her research program examines how host plant chemistry drives adaptive responses in associated arthropod populations, with implications for conservation biology and educational frameworks in ecological sciences.

Professional engagements reflect a commitment to translating complex ecological concepts into accessible learning experiences across diverse educational settings.
