Who is a role model/inspiration to you?

BIPOC biologists. The challenges that they have to push through are so much more than white scientists.
Kart brothers
Jack Hannah
Steve Irwin
My high school AP teacher.
Grad school advisor. They taught me about work-life balance.
My high school biology teacher. They were so passionate.
Lynn Bohs. She mentored me in undergrad. Her passion and knowledge are unrivaled.
My dad. He always told me I could be whatever I wanted and believed in me.
My mom, who was a wildland firefighter and the kindest person I know.
My Conservation Biology professor, Colleen StClair. Inspiring to see women in Conservation work.
2 of my nontraditional undergrad/community college peers. Paths to biology differ but are inspiring.
@jesshausti and @laureneckert
Indigenous scientists and stewards. Y’all are badass and I appreciate you immensely!
Queer and trans folks who are unapologetically themselves in this field, making it safer for all.
Steve Irwin really got me into conservation from a young age.
The first wildlife biologist I got to volunteer with. She’s such a cool lady and really helped me.
My best friend. We reconnected as nontraditional students and become total bad-asses together.
@ashcable, @linsdeyphillips, @ellieburken

How do you recover from a long stint/season in the field?
