There are options other than academia with a PhD in ecology - and those options can simultaneously contribute to science and conservation. Well done Elizabeth Bach!!! @SoilOrgMatters @Nature_IL nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Prescribed fire is a huge benefit to the flora of the prairies, but it also supports the fauna including the bison in Illinois! Learn how in this story featuring @SoilOrgMatters from @WBEZ. #RxFireMonth nature.ly/447MAai
