Joining us this week is Scott Pursner, MS. He completed his Master’s in Wildlife Conservation at National Pingtung University of Science and Technology and undergraduate in International Studies at Adelphi University. In this episode we learn more of how Scott’s Huayu Scholarship turnt into a 10 year experience. Scott’s master’s research focused in the studies pangolins and working with aboriginal villages on how they would do conservation work. Furthermore, Scott has been the past editor for Want China Times and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the Republic of China (Taiwan).
