Molly is deeply involved with Northeast PARC’s Emerging Disease Working Group. She has been instrumental in producing PARC resources, like PARC’s Disinfection Guidelines. Molly also works extensively on Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), including co-chairing the North American Bsal Task Force’s Technical Advisory Committee. Molly has also contributed substantially to PARC’s Amphibian Week campaign. Through the Bsal Task Force Technical Advisory Committee, Molly builds coordination between PARC teams and other entities to further Bsal surveillance efforts. She brings proactive Bsal and disease awareness to the PARC network through presentations, leading workshops, and hosting listening sessions. This is evident through popular publications including “Amping Up Biosecurity for Herps”, which was published in the Nov/Dec 2023 issue of The Wildlife Professional. Molly has gone above-and-beyond for Amphibian Week. Not only has Molly created several outreach materials and led an amphibian art team, Molly served as an in-person panelist at the 2024 Amphibian Week film screening of Wild Hope in Washington D.C.!
