Summary: <p>Paula Pebsworth landed her first research job by emailing and asking one question, "Can I volunteer my time to help you?" This got her working with some of her research idols and led to her study of geophagy, a self-medicating behavior where primates will eat clay to alleviate GI symptoms.</p> <p>Paula has traveled the world doing her research and witnessed beautiful moments in nature. From Madagascar to Japan, Paula is a go-getter who values finding a way to help reduce human-wildlife conflict in the world.</p> <p>If you're inspired by Paula's work, you can read her research papers <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Paula_Pebsworth" rel="nofollow">online</a>.
