Jack Sytsma

I am passionate about connecting science with the broader community through education, outreach, and conservation engagement. My outreach efforts focus on increasing public understanding of ecology, prairie ecosystems, biodiversity, and environmental stewardship through partnerships with museums, community organizations, schools, and scientific societies. I regularly participate in public science events, conservation education programs, and citizen engagement activities that make ecological research accessible to diverse audiences. Through these experiences, I strive to foster curiosity about the natural world, promote evidence-based conservation, and inspire future generations of scientists and environmental stewards.
