Austin Mast's research program involves topics within the broadly defined area of biodiversity study. I am particularly interested in (1) the interplay of ecology and evolution that determines the form and function of plant life on Earth, (2) the use of biodiversity research specimens and digital information about them to bring that interplay into sharper focus, and (3) public engagement in the research to further science and STEM literacy goals. In addition to serving as Director of iDigBio's Digitization, Workforce Development, and Citizen Science Domain, I serve as Director of Florida State University's Robert K. Godfrey Herbarium and FSU's Institute for Digital Information and Scientific Communication.
