Tshepiso Lesedi Majelantle, a PhD Student at the Mammal Research Institute, has been granted the American Society of Mammalogists travel award for the global south to attend the International Mammalogy Congress in Alaska this July.

Reflecting on the award, Tshepiso remarked, “It feels so surreal! I keep waiting for the email that says it was an accident. But I am really looking forward to it, and I am exceptionally grateful for this once in a lifetime opportunity”.

We look forward to Tshepiso representing the MRI at this prestigious conference later this year, we know you will make us proud!
