How Do I Become a Wildlife and Conservation Biologist?
April 30, 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
The program
Do you have a passion for wildlife and love the idea of protecting the natural world? If so, join us for an opportunity to get academic and career advice from bear biologist Wes Larson, a.k.a. @grizkid. During this interactive Q&A session, students will have the chance to ask questions about coursework, internships, college programs, and anything else about becoming a successful wildlife and conservation biologist!
Parents, teachers, and mentors are also encouraged to participate.

When biologist Wes Larson is not crawling through 50-foot bear dens, he’s talking on science panels around the world. Both academic and nomadic, Wes dedicates his life to the research and conservation of bears, from Polar to black bears in the Arctic to America.
