Excellent insight

Great to hear from current and future leaders in conservation science! As a recent graduate in ecology I’m happy that there’s conversations like these that help clear up some of the questions when entering this area of study and line of work!
Great work Dr. Litt & Dr. Guy

Great Podcast!

I’m glad to finally find a podcast discussing wildlife and fisheries related research topics. As a new graduate student and former undergrad in the field of natural resources I had always hoped to find a podcast just like this. I think it can be beneficial for future undergrads looking to pursue a career in natural resources. I look forward to future episodes!
