Rachel Whitlock studied biological science at The University of Queensland (UQ) and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) with a focus on insect systematics and taxonomy. She is interested in exploring Australias unique faunal diversity and how evolution has helped shape it, alongside engaging and educating the general public about biodiversity and conservation.
