Speaker: Claudia Wultsch
Topic: Can microbes help us save species in danger? When most of us think of wildlife conservation, we don’t think about the microscopic life inside of animals. AMNH Scientist Claudia Wultsch, working with the City University of New York, the Gotham Coyote Project, and Panthera is tracking down the map to the microbiome of wild carnivores. Find out how microbes can help biologists improve the conservation, health, and management of wildlife, and see how Dr. Wultsch’s work with teen mentees in the Science Research Mentoring Program is uncovering surprising new information about New York’s City’s coyotes!
