received her BS in biology from Bucknell University in 1989, and
her Ph.D. in Marine Studies from the University of Delaware, College
of Marine Studies in 1994 (one week before me). She is currently
a research scientist at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda,

been published many times, both in the field of visual larval
feeding behavior (her dissertation topic) and retinal electrophysiology.
In addition, she has a chapter on retinal physiology on the web,
