I’m Kylen! I’m a Detroit-based animal welfare scientist. I specialize in multi-institutional collaborations, though I also have particular soft spots for gorillas, polar bears, and understudied taxa.
Kylen in 2021. She has long hair pulled up into a bun. She is wearing a mask, life preserver, and black clothes. She is crouching next to a rockhopper penguin. Kylen in 2022 wearing black pants, a gray top, and a blue jacket. She is wearing a mask and glasses and has short hair. She is staring into the eyes of a juvenile polar bear on the other side of the glass of the Detroit Zoo Arctic Ring of Life. She is holding an iPad and collecting behavioral data

A friend in Côte d'Ivoire has asked me about finding a source of funds or a partnership to pay the monthly salary for the primary school teacher at their village school. Do you know of any resources or grants that might help support this?

Asked my tattoo artist for a chicken skull wearing glasses and smoking a cigarette (long story). Ended up with serious “Hold on to your butts” vibes. I’m not mad about it! 🐔🦖🦕
A grayscale illustration of Samuel L Jackson in “Jurassic Park” from the famous scene where he resets the power to the park. He is wearing glasses and headphones and smoking a cigarette. The caption below him reads “Hold on to your butts” A grayscale tattoo on Kylen’s upper thigh. The tattoo is of a morphologically accurate chicken skull. The skull is wearing wire rim glasses and smoking a cigarette. The caption below reads “Gallus Gallus” which is the scientific name of the domestic chicken.
