Title: “Degree or not degree: taking an alternate path to a career in conservation and science”
Abstract: Robert Hill, who is the Curator of Herpetology at Zoo Atlanta, is a world expert on amphibian conservation—working both with salamanders in the Appalachian mountains and frogs in Georgia's coastal plains and also with frogs in the neotropical forests. Robert's talk is a fantastic introduction to the role of zoos in conservation.

The Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series focuses on biological topics at the scale of whole organisms, their ecology, and the evolutionary relationships among them. Guest speakers come from universities, governmental agencies, NGOs, zoos, museums, and other institutions. The EEBOB seminar is an opportunity to learn about career paths and research in the biology discipline and for students to engage with professionals in a wide variety of biology careers.

This seminar series consists of a pre-recorded seminar, which will be posted to a playlist at the beginning of each week, and a live, virtual Q&A session with the speaker. All are welcome to attend! To be granted access to the live Q&A session, interested attendees should email Dr. Todd Pierson. The live Q&A session will be held each Thursday at 12:30 PM.
