– Walk Well & Wild –

Grounded through faith · Anchored in science · Driven by adventure

Wildlife Biologist · Ph.D. Student · Population & Movement Ecology

I’m Edward Tomassetti, a wildlife biologist and Ph.D. student at Texas A&M University with interests in population, movement, and spatial ecology. My work focuses on understanding wildlife populations, how animals move across landscapes, and how that information can support better conservation and management.

But Walk Well & Wild is about more than research.

This is where I bring together wildlife science, fieldwork, teaching, travel, photography, faith, and the questions that tend to follow me along the way. Some days that means writing about research; other days it might mean hiking through a national park, chasing a sunset, thinking about our relationship with the natural world, or simply sharing something that made me stop and look a little closer.

If any of it makes you curious, gets you thinking, or starts a conversation, then this little corner of the internet is doing exactly what I hoped it would.

A little more about me, and the story behind Walk Well & Wild.

A look at the wildlife research I’m currently working on, along with publications, presentations, and some of the questions I’m trying to answer along the way.

Stories from the field and the road—wildlife, travel, photography, and whatever thoughts happen to follow me home.

A collection of articles, television segments, videos, interviews, and other features that come out about research I’m part of or experiences I’ve been fortunate enough to be involved in.

A growing collection of wildlife, landscapes, fieldwork, and other moments I’ve been lucky enough to capture along the way.

If you have a question, want to talk research, are interested in collaborating, or just want to say hello, this is the place to reach me.
