I’m Elena Rubino (she/her), a conservation social scientist with over 10 years of quantitative and qualitative research experience. I study human decision-making and behavior change leading to policy/program recommendations that improve wildlife and habitat conservation on private lands. I work with governments, environmental organizations, and other stakeholders to better understand the stakeholder needs and perspectives required to achieve conservation outcomes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6f8baca0aab17de382aca5/1601166045662-MKI5LPT0O31H0PSYQXD7/100010.jpeg About Me https://www.rubinoresearch.com/teaching daily 0.75 2025-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6f8baca0aab17de382aca5/1601155963080-31PTRICLMGJNA6B3BTPZ/0_zRQFpGHWjOsy1BEb.jpg Teaching Photo: Medium https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6f8baca0aab17de382aca5/1601155693365-SPQ4A8F9J9O12LLG0USD/1280-1.jpg Teaching Photo: The Netherlands Education Group https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6f8baca0aab17de382aca5/1601155364261-MHE8DKZ7ZHE71JHYJKLG/download.png Teaching Photo: Education to Save the World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6f8baca0aab17de382aca5/1605565942289-40YNOPCDIFSQKH3NBF3I/IMG_6715.PNG Teaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6f8baca0aab17de382aca5/13fd5de4-c56c-44b8-92dd-3a5cc3f7759a/UAM_0061.jpg Teaching - Make it stand out Photo credit: Lonnie Tegels https://www.rubinoresearch.com/contact-me daily 0.75 2025-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6f8baca0aab17de382aca5/1602969385951-WXP6ESZEXEUTJC4938ZY/IMG_6126+%281%29.jpg Contact Me https://www.rubinoresearch.com/the-lab daily 0.75 2024-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6f8baca0aab17de382aca5/9be0a689-2623-4b85-a259-15fdec93f7fb/20190620_131053.jpg The Lab & Opportunities - Eden Rozing “My name is Eden Rozing.

My name is Mandie Flint. I graduated from St. Olaf College with a B.A. in Biology and Environmental Studies. I’m working on a Master’s degree at the University of Arkansas at Monticello to create educational materials and outreach campaigns regarding the use of mass timber and emergency infrastructure in rural communities that are more prone to disasters in the Mississippi Delta. Mass timber has almost exclusively been used in high-rise apartments, and I’m excited to connect with community leaders to raise awareness for a new use of mass timber, while simultaneously promoting the health of forests. After getting my Master’s, I hope to pursue a PhD and continue engaging with local communities about improving human-environment interactions, especially in areas most impacted by climate change.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6f8baca0aab17de382aca5/e3a9aa9a-8966-403b-a8ca-2245520ebcd5/20220426_101749.jpg The Lab & Opportunities - Shylee Head “Hi!
