About | Jason Gregg

Jason J Gregg

Hello! I do ornithological research and conservation biology for leading non-profits, universities, and research consultancies.

I write. My popular science writing has appeared in print magazines and online at Mongabay, Audubon Magazine, The Atlantic, and Hakai Magazine.

I am currently a Master's student at the Linck Lab, Montana State University.
