Why Is Lisa Ballance Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Lisa Taylor Ballance is an American marine scientist who is Director Marine Mammal Institute and Endowed Chair for Marine Mammal Research at Oregon State University. Early life and education Ballance studied biology as an undergraduate student at the University of California, San Diego. Ballance completed her master's studies in marine science at San Jose State University. Her research considered the ecology and behavior of the bottlenose dolphin. She moved to University of California, Los Angeles for her doctoral research, where she studied the ecology of tropical seabirds in the Eastern Pacific. During her doctorate she joined the Association for Women in Science. She was a postdoctoral researcher at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
