Alice recently graduated from Swansea University with a BSc in Zoology with a Year Abroad, where within her dissertation she questioned how sunflower crop management affects foraging bumblebee communities and the crop's usefulness as a potential bumblebee conservation strategy. She is now pursuing a MRes at the University of Leeds in Conservation and Biodiversity and aspires to contribute to the ongoing fight against global biodiversity loss by having a career in this research field. In her spare time, when she is not outdoors hunting for bees or spiders, you will find her running, playing lacrosse, climbing or producing artwork.
