ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Danielle N. Lee - Behavioral biologistDanielle N. Lee examines the ecology and natural history of nuisance rodents, using hip-hop to share science with broader audiences.
Why you should listen
Danielle N. Lee examines the ecology and natural history of nuisance rodents across urban gradients, from the small field mice of North America to the giant pouched rats of Tanzania. A strong advocate for diversity and inclusion in the sciences, she uses hip-hop to share science with broader audiences. She's currently studying the behavioral differences between city mouse and country mouse, with the aim of understanding how and why rodents successfully vex us by living in and near our homes, pantries, farms and silos.
