草原上的研究

汉娜麦卡锡 '23, 环境al Studies major, was one of three students who studied the breeding biology of Field Sparrows in the experimental grasslands at the 河田校区 this 过去的夏天. These students are investigating whether older more experienced sparrows make “better” parents than first time breeders. 像这样的夏季野外经历 allow students to collect actual data used for scientific analysis, building skills that will serve them well should they pursue a career in field biology.
