Jeff White graduates!

Jeff White graduated in May in the middle of a pandemic and managed also to start a PhD position this summer in Kevin McCracken’s lab at the University of Miami. Jeff’s masters thesis titled ‘Foraging strategy plasticity in Fiordland Penguins (Eudyptes pachyrhnchus): A stable isotope approach’ was an ambitious project that took him to the other side of the globe in New Zealand. Jeff manged to fund his masters research through his own competitive grants from the Royal Naval Bird Watching Society, Birds New Zealand, and the Shearwater Foundation. These adventures with island birds will continue for Jeff with PhD research in New Zealand continuing on Fiordland Penguins and research on highland birds in New Guinea. Congrats and good luck to Jeff with his PhD in Miami.
