Samantha Maher
Research Assistant
"As a research assistant for the Conservation and Health team, I spend most of my time exploring and quantifying the links between human health and the environment. But its not just about collecting knowledge: it's about creating tools that make this information clear and readily usable for those charged with making the decisions that directly affect both human and environmental well-being. It's great to work with a team of scientists that are so dedicated to sharing their research so that it can really count."
