A red wolf

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to report that our (me + seven amazing coauthors) scientific paper, “Management Effects on Gastrointestinal Disease in Red Wolves (Canis rufus) Under Human Care: A Retrospective Study,” has just been published in the academic journal Animals! This is my first time being the first author of a professionally published research manuscript!

You can read and download the paper here: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/14/21/3121 Thank you for checking it out!

Update: I graduated! Links to thesis manuscript and defense included :)

Hi everybody!
