Last year, I received funds from BIOSINQ to support two students (Tabitha McFarland and Brooklyn Waterhouse) to attend the American Society of Mammalogists conference in Washington, DC. These two students each presented a poster about their research on pika behavior, ecology, and physiology to a national audience. The conference also served as an important opportunity for them to network with potential graduate mentors. Both students received many positive comments from meeting attendees about their work and took advantage of opportunities to connect with other students, network with professionals, and tour the nation’s capital. Tabitha arranged a special tour of the collections at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and has been in touch with a potential graduate mentor there. She is applying for graduate school this spring. Brooke presented a behavior study on which she is a coauthor. That study has currently been accepted for publication at Western North American Naturalist.
Below are several photos of these students at the conference.
We are profoundly thankful for all donations to this account!
