Jeremy Feinberg is a third year doctoral student in the graduate program in Ecology and Evolution at Rutgers University. He has both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Biology and has spent his career focusing on wildlife biology, ecology, and conservation, most specifically among reptiles and amphibians. Jeremy is currently focused on unraveling the mystery behind the decline of the southern leopard frog on Long Island, New York. He is using his research to investigate the role of potential threats such as disease, contaminants, competition with other frog species, habitat change, and invasion by non-native plant species. Prior to coming to Rutgers, Jeremy's employment experience included working for a large environmental consulting firm, several non-profit organizations and state and federal agencies as well as the University of Florida.
