Career

Largely self-taught since a young age, Rericha began as a naturalist with the Forest Preserves of Cook County, Illinois in 1997 and was mentored by Floyd Swink.[2][3] She currently works as a Wildlife Biologist for the Forest Preserves of Cook County and as a Research Associate with Conservation Research Institute.[4] Rericha was recognized by the Board of Commissioners of Cook County in May 2017 for her significant contribution to science through the publishing of Flora of the Chicago Region, "enabling both the professional and amateur botanist to better understand our region’s plants and insects".[3] In addition to detailing the over 3,100 vascular plant species found in the region, the book documented hundreds of new ecological associations between specific plants and their associated insects and other fauna.[5][6]

gollark: What if we make it so that votes are done by allowing each player to set a few cells of the initial state to a complex cellular automaton, and then the output of that after a few billion steps is parsed into the result of the vote?
gollark: Wait, what if we treat passing/failing proposals as a 1D cellular automaton?
gollark: Oh, and also, pass proposal but translated to Latin, pass proposal 3 days ago, pass proposal *in* 6 days, and randomly reassign all rule numbers.
gollark: It may take a little while to do the necessary votes, but it would be ENTIRELY worth it.
gollark: I think we should use instant runoff voting, with the options to choose between being pass proposal, fail proposal, revote proposal but the second most popular option is unavailable, wait 16 hours and then revote, fail proposal but pass its dependents instantly regardless of other rules, crab, pass proposal and next/previous proposals, reclassify proposal as an SCP, pass the proposal but with every second letter removed, pass the proposal but backward, and frog.
