Susan Perkins
Ph.D. University of Vermont, 2000

I am an evolutionary biologist, a parasitologist, and a microbiologist. I got my Ph.D. in 2000 at the University of Vermont and then came here to the American Museum of Natural History to do a postdoc. I was an assistant professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder from 2001-2004 and then returned here to the Museum as an Assistant Curator in 2004. See the rest of the website for more info on current research projects, publications, and field excursions.

I threw that fish back as soon as the photo was taken (but for the record, I love sushi).

Ph.D. advisor: Jos. J. Schall, University of Vermont

Postdoctoral advisor: Mark Siddall, AMNH

Eric Waltari
Ph.D. Idaho State University, 2005

I am an evolutionary biologist with a variety of interests. I worked on the phylogenetics and biogegraphy of two Arctic mammals (arctic hares and the cinereus shrew) for my Ph.D., which included fieldwork in Alaska and Siberia. I also have worked on intron evolution in birds (undergraduate project at Univ. of Washington with Scott
Edwards), and dabbled in arctic hare nematodes. Some of my other interests are telemark skiiing, HASHing, listing to music, and chilling with friends.
