This month we met with Dr. Sara Bombaci, an assistant professor in the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology. Dr. Bombaci gave us insight into her lab’s research looking into the ‘soundscape of fear’ in Kruger National Park. We also got to hear from Dr. Bombaci about her commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion research, her origins in the multifaceted conservation sphere, and her advice for students entering the field.
