Felicia Keesing
Felicia Keesing, an associate professor at Bard College, is a biologist who studies how species diversity influences the probability that humans and other animals will be exposed to infectious diseases. In addition, she has worked in Kenya for 15 years studying how the disappearance of elephants, giraffes, zebras, and other large animals is influencing the way African savannas function. Keesing has published dozens of research articles, and has received grant support from the National Geographic Society, the National Science Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institutes of Health. In 2000, she received a United States Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from President Clinton.
