Dr. Kralick has advised ten undergraduate women scholars, a high school student, and three Indonesian conservation professionals. She has supervised two senior theses, facilitated research travel to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, mentored three conference presentations (Caminito et al., 2022; Gordon and Traweek et al., 2025; Hurlbut et al., 2025), and published with mentee co-authors who curated data and visuals for a manuscript (Kralick et al., 2024). Her mentorship provides creative ways for students to engage in research that overcome the challenges of studying living orangutans in remote habitats, including analyzing zoo records, field photographs, and 3D scans.
