Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I am the daughter of a neuroscientist father and a biology-inclined mother. In large part due to the influence of my parents, I'd planned to be a marine biologist since my early teens. At UC Santa Cruz, I pursued a degree in Marine Biology and became very interested in sensory systems of deep sea fish. My master's degree work at Moss Landing Marine Labs gave me a chance to catch and examine deep sea fish sensory systems with the aim of finding out how they locate mates. My interest gradually changed from olfactory systems to vision in time for Ph.D. work on the central visual processing systems of goldfish. A post-doctoral fellowship at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography gave me the opportunity to study yet another fish sensory system; the development of the lateral line system in sturgeon. Following my stint in San Diego, I accepted a tailor-made position for a developmental-marine biologist at Stetson University. My current research focuses on spring fish ecology &
population dynamics and the impact of common pollutants on amphibian development.
