MDT_130424_MEX3_2027-small (1)Dr. Winifred Frick

Winifred is the Chief Scientist at Bat Conservation International and an associate research professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UC Santa Cruz. My research is broadly focused on exploring how populations respond to anthropogenic and natural stressors and how we use science to inform conservation. I believe good science combines natural curiosity, a dedicated work ethic, and remembering to have fun.
