Introducing Conner!

Hi! I’m Conner Philson, a 1^st year Ph.D. Student in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCLA. This is my first year of three out here at RMBL working with the marmots. I‘m studying how individuals are effected by the social group they are a part of. In other words, how do all the social interactions that occur within a group subsequently effect each individual group member’s survival and reproductive success. You could think about this in humans by asking how do the social interactions between co-workers at an office influence individual employee productivity?

 

I’m a field biologist at heart and love getting down and dirty to study animal behavior. I think RMBL is the place for me!
