Kath is a field biologist focusing on the ecology, management and diseases of native Australian mammals. With her students, she has worked on koalas (for 39 years!), platypus, potoroos, echidnas, and possums (bobucks, common brushtails, striped possums and ringtails), with brief forays into native marsupial carnivores, native rodents, and fur seals.
