}}Danielle N. Lee is an American assistant professor of biology at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville,[1] best known for her science blogging and outreach efforts focused on increasing minority participation in STEM fields. Her research interests focus on the connections between ecology and evolution and its contribution to animal behavior. In 2017 Dr. Lee was selected as a National Geographic Emerging Explorer.[2] With this position Lee traveled to Tanzania to research the behavior and biology of landmine-sniffing African giant pouched rats.[3]

Early life and education

Originally from South Memphis, Tennessee and she earned her bachelors from Tennessee Technological University in 1996. While she intended to go into veterinary medicine, after being rejected from veterinary school four times, she began studying olfactory behavior in meadow voles and found her passion to pursue academic research.[4] In 2000, Lee earned her MS from the University of Memphis, and in 2010 Lee graduated from the University of Missouri-St. Louis with a PhD in Biology.[1] In her thesis, Lee proposed a new system of describing animal personality traits from more subjective, emotional descriptors, to observational adjectives.[5]

Research and career

As of 2017, Lee teaches mammalogy and urban ecology at Southern Illinois University.[1] Her research specializes in rodent behavior in both urban and rural settings. Her current focus of study is the African giant pouched rat, examining the extent to which they exhibit behavioral syndromes and the potential role of genetics in these behavioral differences.[6][7] In 2012, Lee traveled to and lived in Tanzania to collect data about the African giant pouched rat for the "Wild Life of Our Homes" project. Centering on female rat biology, Lee aims to increase research about female biology that has been understudied in the animal kingdom.

Advocacy and public service

From 2006 to 2011, Lee published the blog Urban Science Adventures![8] before joining the Scientific American Blog Network, where she wrote The Urban Scientist blog from 2011 to 2016.[9] Through her posts, Lee covered her experience as a research scientist, issues relating to STEM diversity, and urban ecology (what she calls "science you can see in your backyard").[5] Her blog aimed to connect the scientific community with under-served and underrepresented populations, primarily African-American youth, through scientific explanations that were easily understandable.[10]

Lee's outreach efforts focus on sharing science with the general public[11] and the under-served,[12] particularly through outdoor experiences and social media outlets.[13] Lee founded the National Science and Technology News Service,[14] a now-defunct media advocacy group focused on increasing interest in STEM and science news coverage within the African-American community. She has received many honors for her efforts to increase minority participation in STEM fields, and was named a top TED fellow 2015.[15] Lee also avidly uses Twitter as a platform to share her science and outreach, and has been recognized as a top scientist to follow on Twitter.[16]

Women of color are underrepresented in STEM fields - making up only 10% of the workforce.[17] As a woman of color in science, Lee has continuously experienced challenges regarding her race and gender.[18][19] For the show and podcast the Story Collider she explained how she has had to work 'twice as hard';[20] in 2013, Lee was invited to contribute to the science website Biology Online by a pseudonymous editor named "Ofek". When Lee declined to contribute to the website without compensation, Ofek allegedly responded by asking whether Lee was "an urban scientist or an urban whore".[21] Lee rebuked Ofek on The Urban Scientist; however, the editor-in-chief of Scientific American, Mariette DiChristina, quickly removed Lee's response from the network. Although the removal of the blog post was allegedly due to legal concerns, Scientific American was widely seen as censoring Lee, causing outrage.[22][23][24][25] Ultimately, Ofek was fired by Biology Online because of the incident.[26] Fallout related to the incident also led to the resignation of the Scientific American's blog editor, Bora Zivkovic.[27]
