Christine Lattin is an authority on avian behavior, recognized for her use of non-invasive techniques in assessing animal response to stress and adaptation. Her research has influenced additional avenues of study into how animal behavior changes in response to environmental insults (such as oil spills), habitat destruction, and climate change. Lattin has been targeted by activist groups that claim her work is unethical.

Education and Career
Lattin holds a BA degree in Linguistics from Swarthmore University, an MS degree in Biology from Eastern Kentucky University (2008) and a Ph.D. in Biology from Tufts University (2014). Her graduate work examined behaviors in birds in response to environmental stressors. In 2014 she was recognized as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Postdoctoral Fellow, and continues her research in the Positron Emission Tomography Center at Yale University.
