We are saddened to hear that Dr. Estella Leopold passed away on February 25, 2024. Estella was a mentor and friend to Dee, and a supporter of the work we do at the Center for Ecosystem Sentinels. We encourage you to read Estella’s books Saved in Time and Stories from the Shack, as well as to visit the Leopold Foundation’s website for her biography. Here are some other resources about Estella:
- Cathy Whitlock, one of Estella’s former students and herself a very successful scientist, wrote this beautiful obituary of Estella in Nature
- The Burke wrote a blog post about Estella a few weeks ago.
Estella – you will be missed.
