After graduating from Cornell, Jeremy Pustilnik went to work with the U.S. Geological Survey on the tip of the Arctic Circle of Alaska, where he conducted surveys of the waterfowl populations nesting in the area, including nest checks of geese to understand population demography, fitting geolocators on shorebirds to study migration patterns, and placing false nests to investigate predation. After he left the USGS, he finished up some research projects at Cornell including revising and publishing his undergraduate honors thesis he had completed with the Searle lab in the journal Urban Ecosystems (Pustilnik et al. 2021), and he started his own company EEB Aviation LLC for using survey-grade drones to assist with ecological projects. He will also finally be starting graduate school at the School of the Environment at Yale in the fall.
