"Shakira led a wonderful education program for our class traveling from the US through Queensland. We performed a koala population survey and a beach scrub vegetation survey. Both excellent examples of field ecological research with the added benefit of covering unique Australian species! We had a great time and learned a lot of biology from the activities."
- Christian George, High Point University (May 2023)
