About

Heath MacMillan is an Assistant Professor at Carleton University in Canada. His research focuses on the physiology and ecology of insects, with recent work examining topics such as the impact of microplastics on gene expression in crickets, temperature sensitivity in Drosophila, and sustainable protein sources derived from brewery waste. MacMillan's investigations also include nutritional ecology and the physiological adaptations of insects to cold stress.
