Meet a Catamount: Alex Naccarato
Channel: University of Vermont
Date: 2019-10-01

Follow along as Patty Prelock, interim provost and senior vice president, learns from Catamounts across campus about their UVM experiences and how their work is shaping their own paths, their communities, and the world.

Here, Provost Prelock catches up with Alex Naccarato, a wildlife and fisheries biology major and statistics minor, who is interning at the Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory. Alex is part of a team that's creating the first food web model for Lake Champlain. When not working with statistical software in the lab, he's serving as field technician aboard the Melosira, UVM's research vessel. Together, the two internships bring his passions -- math and fish -- together, all in support of better understanding and protecting one of the region's most important natural landscapes.
