So I want to introduce you all to Kyle Reid!! He is a PhD student and part of the #blackmamfam I asked him what he wanted to share with y'all and this is what he said! #weouthere #blackmammalogists
I'm Kyle Reid, I'm a 3rd Year Ph.D. student born and raised on the Southside of Chicago. I'm doing research to help conservation scientists protect endangered bat species. I'm working on projects on pallid bats in Baja California, Jamaican Flower Bats in Jamacia, and
and Little Brown Bats In Chicago. I am mentored by Dr. Winifred Frick mentioned in the article at UC:Santa Cruz

After I graduated from university I went to work with American Prairie Reserve in Montana and learn more about being a land management NGO!! If you ever get the chance to go there I highly recommend it @AmericanPrairie if you want to learn more go follow @DanielKinka
Whilst on the prairie I did all sorts of things! Conversed with guests, led tours, prepared the lodge for guests, did logistical things like taking guests to different accommodations across the reserve and delivering supplies where they were needed
I also got to help USFWS on their Black Footed Ferret/Prairie dog study in the Charles M Russell Wildlife Management Refuge! It was a dream to get to work to help protect ferrets! #blackmammalogists
