According to Wikipedia, Phyllis Jane Fromont is a New Zealand and Australian scientist specialising in sponges. Early life and education Fromont was raised in Whanganui, New Zealand, the youngest of six children. She became interested in marine biology after scuba diving in Northland, and completed a Bachelor of Science degree that included some marine biology papers at the University of Auckland. She then undertook her overseas experience for about two years, before arriving in Perth, Western Australia, where she found work with an environmental consultancy firm and was a volunteer at the Western Australian Museum with curator of marine invertebrates, Loisette Marsh. After attending a workshop in Melbourne on sponges led by Patricia Bergquist and Felix Wiedenmayer, she was encouraged by Bergquist to return to Auckland for postgraduate study. She earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Auckland in 1985, with her thesis titled Poecilosclerida of New Zealand, and while there published papers with Bergquist. She followed this with a PhD from James Cook University, completed in 1990, with her supervisor being Patricia Bergquist.
