My work centers around human-wildlife interactions, participatory approaches, carnivore ecology, & environmental justice. #BlackEnvironRollCall Black In Environment #BlackInEnvironWeek


π± The #BIEConference is ON! Our co-founders, Dominic J. Bednar, Ph.D., EIT and Regan F Patterson, PhD will join EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan in a fireside chat to launch our first day of in-person programming at Howard University π₯


What an incredible launch of the inaugural Black in Environment Conference at Howard University. It was cool to see Michael Regan, the first black man to lead the EPA, in conversation with the leadership of Black In Environment. Itβs not too late to register for the remaining days!



We're excited to partner with DC Greens this weekend through a Day of Service at their community farm and wellness space, The Well at Oxon Run! We'll be tending to their fields and building their hydroponic system in their greenhouse. Give them a follow at The Well at Oxon Run by DC Greens πππ±
