Welcome Crissy / mucktopus!
From her bio (added to our Meet the Staff page):
Crissy Huffard (mucktopus) got hooked on cephalopods as an intern in 1996. She completed her Ph.D. with Roy Caldwell (Neogonodactylus) studying the behavioral ecology of Abdopus aculeatus in the wild, followed by a post-doc at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. In her research Crissy tries to understand relationships between evolutionary history, ecological communities, behavioral environments, and reproductive biology of cephalopods- in the field when possible. She currently works for Conservation International Indonesia, advising the monitoring program for a large network of marine protected areas in Papua. In this job she loves supporting conservation action by making science accessible to community members and resource managers.
Welcome Crissy / mucktopus!
