Remember Beaverland, the book by Leila Phillips that most of us couldn’t be pulled away from? It was there we first learned about the work of Dr. Jordan Kennedy, an interdisciplinary researcher whose work bridges non-human animal engineering, hydrodynamics, and Indigenous-led conservation. Now you can learn directly from Dr. Kennedy! The Beaver Institute is hosting a webinar with her as part of their Beaver Science Speaker Series on September 11, 2pm ET. Holding a Ph.D. and M.S. in Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering from Harvard University, Kennedy’s research spans beaver damming behaviors, logjam hydrodynamics, biomimetic design, and beaver-inspired robotics.
