Day Scott is a wildlife biologist, conservation photographer, and science communicator whose work is shaped by resilience, curiosity, and a deep commitment to the natural world. After a collision with a pronghorn herd left her with a traumatic brain injury, Day’s path in science and conservation changed in profound ways. Her recovery deepened her connection to wildlife and strengthened her commitment to using research, photography, and storytelling to inspire conservation.

​

Her photography and research have been featured by platforms including Animal Planet and Discovery, highlighting both the beauty and vulnerability of wild places. Through her lens and her science, Day helps audiences understand the connections between people, wildlife, and the landscapes they share. She has also contributed to conservation storytelling globally, including serving as a judge for Australia Zoo’s Crikey! Magazine Photography Competition alongside the Irwin family.

 

Living with TBI continues to shape how Day moves through the world, but it has also strengthened her purpose as a scientist, educator, and communicator. Whether in the field, classroom, or public-facing media, she uses her platform to encourage curiosity, care, and action for wildlife. She is also committed to greater inclusion in science and conservation, advocating for a broader range of voices and lived experiences in the field.
