Diana H. Wall, is a globally celebrated ecologist with many accolades including being a member of Colorado's Women's Hall of Fame, Medal for Excellence in Antarctic Research, and Distinguished Professor many times over. Just to name a few! She also has a mite and Antarctica valley named after her. Beginning her career she received her B.A in Biology at the University of Kentucky and then went on to earn her Ph.D. there in Plant Biology. Wall's work would take her much further than Kentucky though. With more than 25 years of research in Antarctica her interdisciplinary research has lead to the clarification of the relationship between soil ecosystems and climate change.
Currently Wall is a professor at Colorado State University's Department of Biology, a Senior Research Scientist for the Natural Resource Ecology Lab and Director of the School of Global Environmental Sustainability. Not only has she led the way for future scientists but continues to teach and inspire new generations.
Join us as we sit down and chat everything from past times in Antarctica, plant-parasitic nematodes, and so much more!
