| Description |
IN THEIR OWN WORDS: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in California, Nevada and the Klamath Basin recognizes the inspiring journeys and contributions of Service #WomenInScience. Angela Picco, Wildlife Biologist Credit: Wise Light Angela Picco, Wildlife Biologist and Wildlife Recovery Coordinator, Pacific Southwest regional office, Sacramento, Calif. Where did you go to school? I graduated from UC- Davis with a B.S. in evolution and ecology and a PhD in biology from Arizona State University. What are some of your accomplishments in conservation? Prior to joining the Service, my dissertation research at Arizona State University focused on the link between amphibian diseases and the tiger salamander bait trade. My findings were publicly acknowledged nationwide. I discovered that salamanders used as fishing bait carry pathogens, such as chytrid fungus and Ranavirus. I also found that Ranavirus from infected salamanders can be transmitted to largemouth bass without showing any signs of infection. My research made enough of an impact for some states to change their practices. What advice would you give to young women working in the science field? Being a female leader in the science field is an achievement within itself because it hasn't been the norm in the past. We need to show little girls and young women that being a leader in science is achievable, feasible, and extremely rewarding! Be open to new opportunities. Don’t be afraid to step up, and look for mentors and coaches who can help you along the way. As you move up, offer that mentorship to other people. |
