Kristen Saban

Kristen Saban is an ecologist and researcher affiliated with Harvard University, where she studies biodiversity and conservation. Her work often involves analyzing species extinction patterns and assessing the risks posed to various organisms. In a recent study published in PLOS Biology, Saban highlighted that while there have been hundreds of species extinctions in the past centuries, extinctions at higher taxonomic levels are still rare, indicating that we are not currently witnessing a mass extinction event.
