Laura Braunholtz

Laura Braunholtz is a postdoctoral researcher, currently at Stirling University. Her research interests are around understanding human impacts on species and communities, particularly in tropical ecosystems. She’s also interested in understanding how to mitigate or reduce these impacts in a way that meets the socio-economic needs of people living alongside them. Working towards science, and field ecology more specifically, as a more inclusive, accessible and safe space, and increasing the presence of minoritised people is very important to her.
