Learn

As a leader in conservation education, we understand that experiencing AWE is often the first step in becoming an ally! From Nature Play and Safari Camps to school field trips and Zoo-to-You classroom visits, we cultivate wonder on a daily basis.  

We’re continuing our celebration of incredible DZCA scientists all week long leading up to International Day of Women and Girls in Science on February 11! 🔬✨ 

Today’s spotlight: Kristen Crowell, our Nutrition Operations Manager. Kristen helps ensure the animals in our care get the nutrition they need to thrive. This work supports biodiversity and conservation at its core. 

Her advice for girls in science: your path won’t be a straight line, and that’s okay. Science can be an adventure.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science is February 11, but we’re celebrating incredible DZCA scientists all week long! 🔬✨ 

Today’s spotlight: Dr. Sushan Han, veterinary pathologist on our Animal Health team. Sushan studies disease, performs necropsies and biopsies, and helps diagnose complex cases-work that directly strengthens conservation for many endangered species. 

Her message to girls in science: the sky’s the limit. Science needs your curiosity, passion, and fresh ideas.
