Mason Ward

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Wildlife & Fisheries Sciences at The Pennsylvania State University (University Park, PA, USA), where my research explores the impacts of environmental stressors on vernal pond ecosystems. As a recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, I have publications on insect taxonomy and ecological interactions. Passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion, I have led DEI initiatives and mentorship programs within my department. I aim to contribute to ecological research while fostering an inclusive scientific community.
