Why Is Carol Blanchette Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Carol Anne Blanchette is research biologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara who is known for her work on marine intertidal zones and the biomechanics of marine organisms. Education and career Blanchette grew up in New Jersey and describes her lifelong interest with biology and science as a result of early interactions with her grandparents about fish and fishing. Blanchette has a B.S. from the University of Notre Dame and earned her Ph.D. in 1994 from Oregon State University. Following her Ph.D. she moved to California where she was first a postdoctoral scientist at Hopkins Marine Station and then later because a research biologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. From 2000 until 2019, Blanchette was one of the principal investigators for the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans where she led the team working on intertidal community ecology and biomechanics, and served as the science and policy coordinator. In 2016 Blanchette was named director of the Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserve.
