Tiffany DeGroot
Forest Ecology and Management MSc student in SFRES Project collaborators: Biodiversity Initiative Tiff is a master’s student in the Brzeski Lab studying biodiversity and conservation in tropical forests. Her research project utilizes DNA metabarcoding of carrion flies and camera trapping to survey wildlife in Equatorial Guinea, Central Africa. Tiff studied biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology as an undergraduate, and has worked in the wildlife conservation NGO space for the past two years. Her interests lie primarily in human impacts on conservation and applied research to mitigate them. Tanner Barnes
Undergraduate student in SFRES Tanner is a senior at MTU studying Wildlife Ecology and Management. His research interests include population dynamics and evolutionary biology. Tanner developed a passion for wildlife while hunting and fishing with his father, who helped him appreciate that wildlife is something we need to protect, not exploit. Tanner is an Earn and Learn student with the Brzeski Lab working on camera trap studies. |
