Bruce Collette is a Senior Scientist at the National
Systematics Laboratory of the National Marine Fisheries Service
based in the National Museum of Natural History, part of the
Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. He studies the
systematics and evolution of several groups of epipelagic fishes
such as tunas, mackerels, halfbeaks, and needlefishes and benthic
fishes such as toadfishes and has published over 250 papers on
these and other fishes. He has co-authored books on fishes of the
Gulf of Maine and Bermuda. He received his BS and PhD degrees at
Cornell University.
Doug Facey is a Professor of Biology at Saint Michael's
College in Vermont where he studies the ecology and physiology of
fishes of Lake Champlain and its tributaries. One ongoing area of
interest is fish diversity in lower tributaries, including some
rare darters. Doug received his BS in Biology at the University of
Maine-Orono, his MS in Zoology at the University of Vermont, and
his PhD in Zoology at the University of Georgia.
Brian Bowen spent the summers of his youth snorkeling in Cape Cod Bay, where he learned to appreciate fishes. Dr Bowen is a researcher at Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (University of Hawaii), with over two dozen research expeditions, and over 100 publications on the conservation genetics of fishes and other vertebrates. He holds a M.A. degree from Virginia Institute of Marine Science, a Ph.D. from University of Georgia, and is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Currently Dr. Bowen works on fish five days a week, and on the weekend prefers to go fishing.
