5 Questions for a Scientist:
Ecologist and Avian Field Biologist Allyson Jackson
“Every time I catch a bird and get to see them up close, I am reminded what an honor it is to do what I do (even though I still hate getting up before sunrise!). Now that I’m a professor, I think my favorite part is working with students and seeing them have life-changing experiences in field research, just like I did.”
Allyson is an assistant professor in environmental studies at SUNY Purchase College in New York, where she teaches courses in ecology, conservation biology, and biostatistics. She holds an undergraduate degree in biology from Juniata College in Pennsylvania, an M.S. from the College of William and Mary in Virginia, and a Ph.D. from Oregon State University in Oregon. She has worked at the Tracy Aviary in Salt Lake City and as a wildlife research biologist for the Biodiversity Research Institute in Maine, researching mercury in forest songbirds.
