Dr. Joanna Burgar, UVic and UBC Postdoctoral Researcher, made the move back to academia after working as a wildlife biologist for the Government of Alberta, Canada. Her interest is wildlife conservation across disturbed landscapes and it transcends a particular species, ranging from lemurs in Madagascan forests, Australian bats in a post-mining restored landscape, and ungulates in the Oil Sands. Joanna loves a challenge, from running up mountains to making sense of Bayesian models.
