Interests:
During
previous lives Holly was a technical writer, computer programmer,
and an astrophysicist. In summer 2008 she completed a transition
into the life sciences, with a master's degree in tropical conservation
biology at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo. Her research thesis
involved a study of the morphology and genetics of the diadematid
Echinothrix sea urchins of Hawai'i. She is now a PhD student in
the Zoology Department at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, with
interests in marine biodiversity, speciation, epizootiology, and
the evolutionary effects of anthropogenic stressors upon marine
life.
