Dr. Ulibarri is an adjunct lecturer. He spent the past several years in Vietnam conducting research on the behavior and conservation of the red-shanked doucs (Pygathrix nemaeus) and their habitat. His research included the social organization, ranging behavior, activity budgets, nutritional and feeding ecology of the doucs as well as climate, plant phenology, habitat evaluation, road ecology and anthropogenic effects.

His work contributed directly to a local conservation project for the red-shanked doucs at his study site. In close cooperation with the local authorities he and Dr. Ulrike Streicher developed and implemented education and outreach activities as well as measures to improve the conservation of his research population by restoring degraded habitat and setting up canopy bridges. Dr. Ulibarri has a passion for teaching and, having lived for five years in Vietnam, he brings in a strong interest to connect academic research with much needed conservation efforts on the ground.

Hey everybody! I’m Skye Grubb and I will be the FIG Assistant for Cracking the Case: Forensics, Freshmen, and FIGs. I will be a third year Biological Anthropology major with an Earth Science (Paleontology) minor and a Middle East and North Africa minor. On campus, I work in both the Isotope Lab and Primate Osteology Lab through the Anthropology department. 

I have lived in Oregon my whole life on a llama farm about an hour away from campus, where I go home to work intermittently throughout the year. Aside from llamas, I have goats, pigs, dogs, and even a peacock. 

Here on campus, I spend my time preparing campaigns of Dungeons and Dragons and being both a player and a dungeon master in a handful of groups! I also take music lessons on campus, as I have been playing bassoon for ten years as of September. I also played tuba and trombone for a little while, but these days I spend a lot more time playing guitar (work-in-progress, haha) and bass guitar (much better)! I am just beginning to learn Arabic as well for my minor. I am very new to language study, but it makes for a great break from STEM homework!

I am very excited to work with you all! Please feel free to message me to introduce yourself or to chat about forensics, bones, paleontology, llamas, D&D, and more! Let me know if you have any questions as well. I am looking forward to meeting you all!
