More about the co-hosts!
Nikki (she/her) is a conservation scientist who has worked at the interface of science, policy, and communication. Nikki’s work has brought her across the America’s - from wetlands in South Carolina to tropical forests in Colombia - where she has worked with local communities, government agencies, and International organizations. She earned her PhD from Texas A&M University in 2020 and is a member of three IUCN Species Survival Commission specialist groups (Climate Change, Amphibians, and Small Mammals), a member of the Center for Nature & Leadership, Women in Nature Network, and an Associate Scientist at Re:wild. She is based in Berkeley, California (Ohlone lands), where she works at the science-policy interface to protect ecosystems, wildlife, and communities by promoting equitable nature-based solutions to mitigate climate change.
Cat (she/her) is a science communicator who has spent a decade working with NGOs, governments, field researchers, academics, and activists to tell stories about conservation and the people working to protect biodiversity around the world. Cat studied science communication and media production at George Mason University, where she also continued her graduate education in biodiversity conservation with a focus on conservation technology. She had the opportunity to support George Mason's future conservation communicators by mentoring students at the Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation during her recent tenure as the Director of Communications and Marketing for the Smithsonian’s Conservation Commons. At the Smithsonian, she led the popular Earth Optimism campaign – a movement focused on conservation and climate solutions and the inspiration of people leading change for our planet. Cat lives in Northern Virginia and currently works as the biodiversity communications and marketing lead for an NGO driving solutions for global challenges.
