Britt Brito (former MSc student, UW)
In 2020, Britt "AKA BTB" Brito completed a bang-up thesis on occupancy and diet specialization of the Wyoming pocket gopher, one of North America's most restricted and rarest rodents.
Recent Publications Britt is a superfan of the Green Bay Packers, and other mammals great and small. Enduring Jake for three courses during her undergraduate bestowed Britt with the patience and tenacity necessary to endure the Tatooine-esque landscapes of Wyoming's Red Desert.
