Mentor
Coding4conservation, National Geographic Teaching Grant
Year-long mentorship and teaching program for Malagasy students. I lectured on the first workshop, Introduction to Statistics. My one-on-one collaboration involved working with Zo Samuel Ella Fenosoa, analyzing data from her fieldwork on the mistletoe-lemur mutualism, and writing a manuscript. We published this work in the African Journal of Ecology. See our published code and manuscript!
