Eric's degree in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology means he studied the actual science behind APES — population ecology, species interactions, and ecosystem-level processes — not just the survey-course v...

Medical training reshapes how you think about environmental health — Amanda's MD/MPH work means she understands toxicology pathways, epidemiological data, and the public health consequences of polluti...

Studying Human Biology at Stanford with a concentration in health policy gives Jake a direct line into the APES units on public health, pollution, and environmental legislation — he understands how ec...

Todd's biology degree from UIUC gives him the ecological and cellular foundations that underpin APES topics like nutrient cycling, energy flow through trophic levels, and ecosystem disruption — and hi...

Premed coursework in human biology builds an intuitive grasp of the biological systems that APES questions test — nutrient cycling, population growth models, and the health consequences of environment...

Shawn's master's in chemistry gives him a molecular-level understanding of the processes that drive APES content — ocean acidification equilibria, nitrogen fixation pathways, ozone depletion mechanism...

Neuroscience teaches you to think about interconnected systems — how a single disruption cascades through networks of dependent processes — and Ankit applies that same framework to APES topics like tr...

Brown's public health curriculum digs into the human side of environmental problems — epidemiology, toxicology, resource policy — and Paul pairs that perspective with a biology major's understanding o...

Chemical engineering coursework at Princeton drills material and energy balances — tracking what flows in, what transforms, and what flows out — which maps directly onto APES topics like biogeochemica...

Having spent a year as a climate change researcher at the University of Helsinki — where she completed PhD-level atmospheric science coursework — Marika brings firsthand lab and field experience to AP...
