A Duke Workday: Caring for Lemurs in Durham and Abroad
Meet Danielle Lynch, Primate Technician Supervisor at the Duke Lemur Center
Each video in “A Duke Workday” series connects you with a staff and faculty member who shares and represents the Duke values of respect, trust, inclusion, discovery and excellence. Is there a colleague you would like for us to highlight in “A Duke Workday?” Let us know.
Danielle Lynch, Primate Technician Supervisor at the Duke Lemur Center, comes into work each day focused on tending to the needs of lemurs. Her work ranges from making diets and cleaning enclosures to embarking on trips to Madagascar and tracking the lineage and health of the entire species of lemurs.
Lynch began working at the Duke Lemur Center as a summer intern following the completion of her degree from North Carolina State University in zoology. Her experience influenced her decision to stay at Duke.
“I decided that I never wanted to leave,” Lynch said.
In this edition of “A Duke Workday,” learn more about Lynch and the work that is required to care for lemurs in Durham and abroad.
