Kat Garrett (former Undergraduate Wyoming Research Scholar, UW)
Biography
Under the expert tutelage of Leo Khasoha, Kat Garrett explored links between the demographics and life histories of small mammals. Kat's spirit animal was (and remains) the rufous elephant shrew, a paragon of a model critter, and cute as the dickens to boot. Kat's research culminated in an award-winning talk at the 2023 International Mammalogical Congress in Anchorage, Alaska. Currently, she's honing her snow machine and backcountry chops as a tech for Lane Jeakle's work on marten in the Medicine Bow National Forest.
