She’s currently curating the anthropology department’s collection of small materials—mostly shells, pieces of animal bones and rocks—to record and preserve them before returning them to the Nisqually Tribe. Her research on central Mexico may be less hands-on but is no less exciting. Looking at detailed drawings from the

Campbell-Harris’s father’s family is from the South, and clients appreciate that a member of the Voting Rights Project legal team has a connection with the region. When not on the road, Campbell-Harris performs research, writes and attends meetings with partner organizations and

With the data from several collared jaguars, a statistical composite of the jaguar in the area—the jaguar as species—will be constructed. Important information, to be sure. Yet as one researcher told me, studying another tropical species, the composite portrait describes the creature as type, “a platonic animal,” to use her words. Because it

heavy workload, but it is also fun, so it doesn’t feel like work. We are making a simulation for small satellites. I work remotely for the Langley Research Center in Virginia, and my mentor there has really helped me with making connections while working virtually. The three-hour difference in time zones is a bit of a challenge, but it is manageable. One of my biggest takeaways from working with NASA is the importance of always being ready to learn new things.
