Tongue-in-check bio: Dr. Pfeiffer is a recovering scientist, specializing in a discipline so esoteric only a handful of other nerds claim it. Having worked as a radio DJ, lab rat, model, farm laborer, cocktail waitress, and dogwalker, Dr. P tends to take herself too seriously, except when she doesn’t. Professional bio: Dr. Pfeiffer in an ethnoecologist focusing on biocultural diversity: the intrinsic connections between nature and culture. Her award-winning essays, research articles, and poems have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, anthologized, and published in literary magazines and scientific journals; broadcast over radio and exhibited in art galleries. @JeaninePfeiffer and jeaninepfeiffer.com
