"... the impulse which drives one to poetry will send another into the tide pools and force them to try to report what they find there. ...we wanted to see everything our eyes could accommodate, to think what we could, and out of our seeing and thinking, to build some kind of structure in modeled imitation of the observed reality."
-Steinbeck and Ricketts, 1941
I'm a postdoc and research associate in Suzy Renn's lab at Reed College . I did my graduate work in Stuart Thompson's lab at The Hopkins Marine Station, a division of Stanford's Department of Biological Sciences. I did my undergraduate work at The Evergreen State College and took a Masters from Boston University's Marine Program. I've also spent some time with the Whitney Lab and University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories.
