Meet Emi! She’s joining The Road Lab and OneZoo CDT for a NERC-funded #research internship on #RoadKill as sentinels for zoonotic diseases 🦡🦠. Entering her final year in Biological Sciences👩‍🔬 at Cardiff University, Emi is passionate about disease ecology and innovative research

This is Megan, she will be joining The Road Lab team this summer. She studies Marine Geography and is interested in #wildlife and #conservation. Megan is most looking forward to working with camera trap footage and getting involved in the great work The Road Lab do!
