I am a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Laura Kloepper's Ecological Acoustics and Behavior Lab at the University of New Hampshire. My educational background is in cognitive science and my research is on bat echolocation. This session will gather participants spanning students to late career professionals to have a conversation about work in bioacoustics. Each participant will give a brief introduction on their background and career path with ample time allotted for Q&A. Topics will include professional development, the importance of mentors, work/life balance, integrating family into careers, and more!
