Brooke Davis in the field.
Just over a year ago, Colorado College student Brooke Davis was spending long days with her fellow student-researchers on the ACM Tanzania Program, watching groups of impalas and baboons and collecting data on how the two species interact.

Now, Davis’ research is getting noticed. A paper she co-authored with Colorado College biology professor Jim Ebersole, who was Visiting Faculty Director of the Tanzania Program in fall 2014, was recently published in the African Journal of Ecology. That was quickly followed by an article about her research in Smithsonian.com. Read more
