   abstract: "\u200B\u200B\u200B\u200B\u200B\u200B\u200BDr. Converse received graduate\
     \ degrees from the University of Nebraska and Colorado State University. She\
     \ then completed a postdoctoral position at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center\
     \ before accepting a permanent position with USGS at Patuxent, where she led\
     \ a research program for 10 years focused on endangered species conservation,\
     \ decision science, and quantitative ecology. In 2017 she became the Unit Leader\
     \ of the Washington Unit at University of Washington, where she serves as an\
     \ Associate Professor. Her research focuses on the development and application\
     \ of methods to understand the functioning of populations and to improve their\
     \ management. She works across a broad variety of taxa: terrestrial birds, seabirds,\
     \ marine mammals, amphibians, and others. Her research projects tend to reflect\
     \ two primary themes: (1) development and application of quantitative methods\
     \ in population ecology, particularly for small and declining populations; and\
     \ (2) development and application of decision-analytic methods to inform management\
     \ of populations. Sarah collaborates extensively with managers in federal and\
     \ state agencies, and she works internationally, with current research projects\
     \ located in Europe, New Zealand, French Polynesia, and the Arctic. Sarah teaches\
     \ graduate courses in statistics and demographic analysis, and teaches professional\
     \ and graduate courses on decision analysis. Sarah is active in efforts to increase\
     \ equity and justice in her professional community.RECENT HONORS AND AWARDSConference\
