Pronouns: she/her and/or they/them
My research primarily engages with philosophy of the life sciences, and I have further interests in public philosophy and ethics. Previously, I worked as a biology research technician at the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA, USA, where I also did advocacy work for underrepresented and self-identified minority scientists at the center.

Pronouns: she/her and/or they/them
My research primarily engages with philosophy of the life sciences, and I have further interests in public philosophy and ethics. Previously, I worked as a biology research technician at the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA, USA, where I also did advocacy work for underrepresented and self-identified minority scientists at the center.
In philosophy of biology, my present interests are experimental systems in biomedical research, mate choice and sexual selection (the topic of my MA dissertation under Samir Okasha), microbiome science and holobionts, and general puzzles in philosophy of science as manifested in biology (e.g. idealization in biology).
In ethics and justice, I'm concerned broadly and trying to learn always. My first philosophy publication applies social philosopher Elizabeth Barnes's model of disability to a case in reproductive ethics. Please see my department page for biology publications: https://philosophy.sas.upenn.edu/people/jacqueline-mae-wallis.
In life I enjoy reading, riding my bicycle, and looking at nature things.
