Ren Ryba
My work focuses on animal advocacy. I have been deeply involved in numerous fish welfare projects in particular. I worked at Animal Ask from 2021 to 2025, and I'm now an independent contractor. I like researching things, planning things, and organising things.
About me:
- Ren (she/her or they/them), living on Kaurna Land (South Australia)
- I don't regularly check DMs or comments on the Forum. For questions about research conducted during my employment Animal Ask, feel free to reach out to info (at) animalask (dot) org.
- I have experience in ecology, fisheries science, and statistics from my time in academia and government. I enjoy thinking about politics and social justice. I like soccer!
My research can be found at:
- Animal Ask research page
- Google Scholar
- This EA Forum profile page
I recently changed my surname (formerly Springlea) 😊
