Hi, Wendee,
Although I have a PhD in evolutionary biology, I've never worked as a
biologist after graduate school. I had some good reasons for a career
change (to software engineering) but I still have some regrets for never
having contributed to the growth of biological knowledge, and in so

Another good place to look is on town Conservation Commissions. I worked
with many of them in Vermont. In that state nearly all the conservation
commissions are staffed by volunteers and many of the people have a biology
or ecology background (though not all).

Great question, but I suspected you were going to get some of these responses

Hi Wendee,
I think this would be an extremely easy topic if you moved your target
biologists away from those in the academic setting. Many of us work in
non-profits aimed with an environmental conservation focus, work with
land-trusts, work as land stewards, foresters, game wardens, medical

I am working on a story idea about ways that biologists give back to society
in a way that is above and beyond simply doing research. It CAN be a
research project if it has a strong influence on the local community, or on
policy, etc.
If you have any examples of individuals doing something, wheth
