Ben Goldstein is a PhD candidate in ecology at UC Berkeley. His dissertation focuses on quantitative methods for species distribution modeling. He’s especially interested in large-scale biodiversity data, including participatory science, and in understanding what these data reveal about both wildlife and human observers.
