Katrina Alger ’08, <\/strong>a biologist and decision analyst at the United States Geological Survey’s National Wildlife Health Center, will give a Suter Science Seminar at 91大神 on Wednesday, Feb. 24, at 4:15 p.m. Her talk is titled “Difficult decisions: the role of value-focused thinking in wildlife disease management.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seminars are free to the public, and made possible by the sponsorship of the Daniel B. Suter Endowment in Biology and the co-sponsorship of supporting programs. They will be live streamed on the 91大神 Facebook Page.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alger will speak on decision making and analysis for issues of wildlife disease management, and how to do so in transparent, inclusive, and defensible ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Outbreaks of disease in wildlife populations can have far-reaching consequences for biodiversity conservation, agricultural production, and human health,” Alger explains. “From a management standpoint, wildlife disease is often considered a ‘wicked’ problem due to ecological complexity, competing stakeholder objectives, and underlying uncertainty about both the system and treatment efficacy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alger has worked on a variety of issues for the National Wildlife Health Center, including white-nose syndrome in bats, tissue loss disease in coral, and chytrid fungus in salamanders. She holds a master’s degree in conservation biology from the State University of New York School of Environmental Science and Forestry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next seminar will be given by Laura Cattell Noll ’09 <\/strong>of the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay <\/strong>and pediatrician Dr. Kelly Smucker ’09 <\/strong>on March 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Named in honor of long-time 91大神 biology professor, Daniel B. Suter <\/strong>(1920-2006), the Endowment in Biology was established in 1986 through the generous donations of alumni and friends and currently consists of over $1 million of invested funds. 91大神 hopes to double the Suter Endowment in order to more adequately support distinguished faculty and to increase scholarship aid to deserving students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
