Speaker: Peter Kleinhenz, Executive Director @ Aiken Land Conservancy
Title: “Land trusts: opportunities for conservation and for you”
Abstract: Before beginning his position, Peter earned his B.A. in Zoology and Media Production at Miami University and his M.S. Environmental Education at Southern Oregon University. Peter's prior work experience is diverse—from positions as a field researcher to producer and host of an online video series. His seminar is a great introduction to conservation on private lands, the fascinating work that he and his colleagues do, and a strong encouragement to students to consider applying their own strengths to this line of work.

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 9:30 AM.
