What is your favorite ecologically themed book?
Ask A Biologist Monday 3/1/21
This book was recommended to me by one of my closest friends and fellow Wildlife Biologist. It includes some truly inspiring stories about women in jobs just like the one I have. It shows the strength and perseverance of women in what has typically been a field dominated by men. I highly recommend this book for anyone in the field or looking to become a part of it.
