Kayla Goforth

Dr. Kayla Goforth is a postdoctoral research associate in the biology department at Texas A&M University, who has conducted significant research on sea turtle navigation and behavior. Her recent study published in the journal Nature reveals how loggerhead turtles learn to associate magnetic fields with food sources, demonstrating their unique ability to navigate vast oceans. Goforth's work emphasizes the importance of understanding the impacts of human activities, such as radiofrequency emissions, on the natural behaviors and migration patterns of these ancient marine reptiles.
