Ellen Cander is a postdoctoral associate in the Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Science department at the University of Minnesota (UMN), Twin Cities, where she completed her Ph.D. She earned her Ph.D. in Conservation Science with a focus on Wildlife Ecology and Management. She grew up in Idaho Falls, ID fishing, hiking, skiing, and hunting. She especially enjoyed fly fishing in the south fork of the Snake and the high mountain lakes. Her research focuses on understanding the scavenger species that visit hunter d gut piles around the different biomes of Minnesota. She currently lives in St. Paul, MN with my husband, daughter, and two dogs. Along with Artemis Sportswomen, Ellen is also very involved in Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. She has served on the Minnesota chapter board for several years. She helps plan and carry out events as well as represent the voice of the public land for Minnesota and North American conservation issues.
