About
I have a weird job - I try to figure out how to keep wildlife populations healthy. A lot of that involves dealing with dead stuff. Not the most glamourous thing to do, but I think it's important that wild animals have someone learning about and trying to fix some of the problems we (human) have created for them in this shared world of ours. I am a wildlife disease ecologist and director of the Cornell Wildlife Health Lab, which is a partnership with the New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation. I work closely with wildlife agency partners to help them understand and solve some of their issues related to wildlife diseases.
