Nathan Alexander

Nathan Alexander is a postdoctoral research associate at the Illinois Natural History Survey
studying avian disease dynamics and climate change in the Laurentian Great Lakes, but is
broadly disciplined in wildlife ecology, mammalogy, and landscape genetics. Outside of his
research, he serves on the Continuum of Service Providers to the Homeless (CSPH). At the
CSPH, he initiated and chairs the LGBTQ+ Homeless Workgroup to inform policy, advocate,
and provide trainings to increase access of resources to LGBTQ+ individuals. Nathan has
secured grants, planned events, and conducted outreach, but he truly enjoys quiet nights
knitting alongside his cat.
