About Us
We are three PhD students in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior at the University of Minnesota. We have come together, not only as friends, but under the common thread of dissertation projects centered on Tanzanian wildlife. Lisa (left) is studying chimpanzee vocal communication and its role in social foraging behavior, Andrea (center) is investigating sexual coercion and pregnancy signals in baboons, and Ali (right) studies mechanisms of carnivore coexistence in lions, hyenas, and cheetahs. While based out of the University of Minnesota, we spend much of our time at our field sites, Gombe National Park (Lisa and Andrea) and Serengeti National Park (Ali). Through blogs, pictures, videos, and sounds, we aim to share our research with others while also providing a behind-the-scenes glimpse of biological field work. Additionally, we hope our stories will inspire other young people to pursue challenging and exciting careers in the sciences. Check back often, you never know what adventures might be in store....
