Claire Teitelbaum is finishing up a Ph.D. in ecology. She studies animal movement patterns and how animals respond to human development. This research could later be used to conserve species. She aims to better understand all the ways that nature “works.” “Ecology is an amazing field because everything that we study is so complex and everything interacts with everything else at some level. I am also committed to close collaborations with diverse people, since more diversity lends more views of the same problem,” she said.
