Alison Robey is a 4th year PhD candidate in the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University.
Alison is a theoretical ecologist working on using mathematical modeling to better understand the population and community level impacts of changing temperature regimes and heat waves. She uses the tools of theoretical ecology to better understand, manage, and protect ecosystems facing unprecedented anthropogenic changes.
For her outreach project Alison wrote about a subject quite different from her research, but one that is incredibly important to her nevertheless: the effects of light pollution on bird migration. This article is a call for folks to– quite simply, turn off their lights! Her article, entitled “Let there be Night,” was recently published in the Lakeville journal.
