Szymczycha and Camacho collected, compiled, and analyzed raptor conservation data at The World Center for Birds of Prey as part of the The Peregrine Fundβs Global Raptor Impact Network (GRIN). Their research was part of Boise Stateβs which provides students the opportunity to work under the mentorship of professional researchers while gaining invaluable hands-on experience.
βInternships like this are a tremendous opportunity for our students to apply scientific concepts theyβve learned in the class to real-world conservation issues,β commented Associate Professor of Biology, Dusty Perkins. βStudents also develop critical science and communication skills while gaining experience of how collaborative research actually works.β
