About Josie
I am a PhD student in the science and technology studies department at Cornell University. My research explores the risky relationships involved in com mensa, or sharing a table, with commensal rats in New York City. I examine the ways human-rat relationships shape experiences of urban health and wellbeing in the city. To explore this question, I work as a licensed pest management professional.
