To kick off 2021, I spoke to Dr. Tiara Moore, an environmental ecologist, about how she became interested in ecology, her experiences as a Black woman in STEM, and how she’s helping to create a safe and inclusive workplace as founder of A WOC Space.
She completed her B.S at Winthrop University, received an M.S. in Biology at Hampton University, and earned her Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCLA. She’s currently a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington and The Nature Conservancy of Seattle where she is using soil environmental DNA to develop a biodiversity census of Ellsworth Forest to compare species diversity across management treatments over the past 10 years. Check out her amazing research and engagement both inside and outside the lab, including her work as founder of #BlackinMarineScience!
