What programs intersect with ecology, marine biology, neuroscience, and public health?
Hi! I'm researching graduate programs and am looking to focus on ecology, neuroscience, and public health. I would love, for example, to study the brain of a specific animal and translate the findings into implications for public health and climate change. My bachelor's is in public health and I'm very interested in merging ecological sciences in the near future. If anyone has any leads as to where this intersection may lie, I would love to hear about it!

How do I go about starting a career in ecology and conservation ?
How do I go about starting a career in ecology and conservation? I’ve worked in healthcare for 14 years and need to be out asap. I love science and want to have meaningful work just need to be away from healthcare. It’s hard to see that there is little care in healthcare, mainly just capitalism.

Do I have to major in biology to be an ornithologist/zoologist?
I want to be a zoologist, specifically an ornithologist focused on research and conservation. However, I'm not particularly interested in what is going on inside the bird. I understand how that would be important to know, but I don't want my major (i.e. biology) to simply be focused on this. I'm more interested in how different factors affect a bird's (or other wildlife) wellbeing. #career #science #biology #career-counseling #zoology #ecology #environmental-services
