Graduate Education in Ecology
These pages are designed to provide insight and resources for students who may be interested in pursing graduate school in ecology, are transitioning from one degree option to another (MS to PhD), or are just completing their doctoral training. I accumulated much of this info during my time as a graduate student and post-doc, although I am adding stuff occasionally. Bon voyage.
