Collaborators

We are enthusiastic to connect with local communities and global audiences to share our love of urban ecology, human-wildlife interactions, and social-ecological applications.

As experienced storytellers and narrators, we are keen on working across spaces - from interviews and documentaries, to guest seminars and community engagement opportunities. Below are a few specific items for collaboration:

  • We have MANY urban wildlife projects where we work with residents and private landowners to deploy wildlife cameras in our backyards to understand behavior, cognition, and community. If you would like to be a partner in the projects you’ve seen here, fill out the form below.

  • The Schell Lab and PI have copious experiences communicating their science through radio, social media, and film. We are always interested in working with filmmakers, videographers, and artists in creating compelling and unique projects that document urban wildlife across California. To schedule an interview, use the calendar below.

  • The lab and PI have many ongoing research projects that we are happy to share. Our exciting constellation of scientists are always excited to talk shop. Send us an email to inquire about speaking engagements.

  • We strongly believe in community-engaged scholarship, informal education opportunities, and giving back to our communities of practice. Please reach out if you're interested in a classroom presentation, tabling event, or other educational activities.
