| Welcoming our new Station Manager |
|
We are excited to welcome our new Station Manager, Jessica Manzak to IFS and Forfar Field Station. Years ago Jessica was fortunate to spend a week at Forfar Field Station as a high school student. Since then, she has had diverse experiences including: teaching animal science in North Carolina, researching and living in Tanzania for 8 years and embarking on a cross country adventure in her camper van. She and Mike have spent the past month at Forfar getting prepared for our next season of groups. We are excited for you all to meet Jessica this year. |
