PhD candidate, Erin Siracusa, has been selected as one of the top 75 entries for the NSERC sponsored Science, Action! contest. Participants were tasked with making a 1-minute video highlighting their research and showing how science is improving their lives. Erin, who is working with Dr. Andrew McAdam, is investigating the importance of social interactions for the behaviour and fitness of an 'asocial' species - squirrels. Her research is part of the Kluane Red Squirrel Project, a long-term collaborative research initiative located in the southwest Yukon.
