Personal profile
Overview
Alice is a BBSRC funded PhD student in Ecology and Evolution, researching disease transmission between wildlife and livestock in conservation landscapes in Kenya.

Her previous research involved non-invasive measurement of reproductive and metabolic hormones in large herbivores (equids and black rhino), using ELISA.
