Susan Reed is a first-year M.S. student in Biology's Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior program. She considers herself fortunate to be in Distinguished Professor Ellen Ketterson’s Lab, where she is surrounded by wonderful researchers and supportive mentors. With goals of becoming a conservation biologist with the Fish and Wildlife Service, DNR, or National Park Service—Susan is excited to make the most of her time at IU studying avian movement ecology and distribution modeling techniques. Another passion of hers is science outreach.  She, along with her wonderful cohort, created a "Meet a Scientist" event for children at the Monroe County Public Library, where they talked about what it's like to be a researcher. Susan invites everyone to see them in the fall during their next event at the library.
