Hi! My name is AJ and I am currently studying the population genetics of brown bears in Slovenia. I love working on animal conservation research and I can’t wait to share my journey with you!

As our time together comes to an end, I hope you have enjoyed my journey. I want to leave you all with words of encouragement to keep exploring and discovering all that the world has to offer!

Field Notes

In the winter just before the start of Lent, many Slovenian villages celebrate the holiday of Shrovetide Saturday with celebrations and traditions unique to their specific area.

Albums

Southern Slovenia was once part of the Venetian empire. I got the opportunity to visit the city of Venice itself (two hours away), as well as Piran on the coast of Slovenia. Both were breathtaking!
