“Since my first day at WildCRU, I have always felt at home. Moving to a different country to join such a renowned group within one of the world’s best universities could have been daunting—and it was. However, I couldn’t have been welcomed more warmly. WildCRU is a vibrant and diverse group of researchers united by the same goal: wildlife conservation—quite literally—across the globe. It’s truly a joy to be part of this team.”
