Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEthan Linck is an ecologist and evolutionary biologist who studies how climate and landscapes shape biodiversity from genes to genera, blending computational biology with natural-history expertise. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Washington and is an Assistant Professor of Ecology at Montana State after several NSF postdoctoral fellowships at the University of New Mexico and the University of Wyoming. His work is data-intensive and spans population genetics, biogeography, and phylogenetics, informed by museum-based research and field experience from tropical islands to high-elevation stations. An experienced science and nature writer, he reaches broad audiences through his newsletter "treethinking" and bylines in High Country News, LA Review of Books, and bioGraphic. Based in Bozeman, he combines academic teaching and research with public-facing communication, and maintains an active online presence including a website and GitHub for reproducible code and data. A less obvious strength is his history of hands-on field logistics (e.g., extended winter caretaker duties at a remote biological lab), which gives him practical grounding in the challenges of collecting and managing ecological data.
