Dr. Melanie Boudreau is US based post-doctoral researcher from Canada. She completed her PhD research on snowshoe hares in the Yukon, Canada, and now her main research focus is on black bear conservation in the south-eastern US, working out of Mississippi state. We spoke today about many different aspects of research and grad school, and the ongoing gender inequality in science and academia, and how we approach conservation issues as scientists and people.
