In this episode of Dear Grad Student, Elana chats with 3rd year Ecology and Evolutionary Biology PhD student, Annelise Blanchette, about community outreach. We discuss her dissertation work in New Orleans & saving the birds and lizards, why community outreach is so important, how she got involved & how you can too. Plus, Elana goes on a 5 minute rant about how much she loves Cleveland because Annelise mentions that she got her Master's degree there.
