After many months of planning, we are so excited to launch our newest blog series: Conservation Chronicles! In this series, we’ll share real stories, experiences and research from scientists that study animal behavior ex-situ and in-situ, insights into conservation (of plants, animals and the environment!), and reflections on how it all mixes together!
Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing more resources related to conservation and behavior—including those that can be included in your classrooms! We hope that RockEDU online can become a place for exploring ideas related to social biology and cognition and applying them to real-life situations related to conservation and management!
To kick off our Conservation Chronicles blog series, we’re sharing a piece by Oakland University Ph.D. student, Victoria O'Connor! Victoria studies comparative cognition in carnivores, specifically the evolution of cognitive abilities, and the effects of social learning for captive welfare and conservation. In this piece, Victoria explores her pathway to animal behavior research, beginning with her earliest inspiration in elementary school and leading her, most recently, to being featured on Animal Planet's The Zoo.
