Summer Student Profile: Alyssa Kocsar | ![]() |
![]() Hello, my name is Alyssa Kocsar and I'm a fourth-year biology student at Mount Royal University. This year, I have joined the Miistakis Institute for another season of collecting eDNA to model amphibian occupancy and connectivity in the Foothills region as part of the Calgary Connect project. My time working for Miistakis has deepened my interest in nature and allowed me to further explore the field of environmental biology, which is not only essential, but fascinating. Being able to participate with the Miistakis team has expanded my understanding of conservation research, and it has been incredibly rewarding to be involved in such impactful work. One of the highlights of this position would have to be seeing the abundance of wildlife and exploring the surrounding area of Calgary on the search for amphibians! | |
