Many of you will remember her from our trip this summer on the Project O Boat...
Christine Williams
Christine has agreed to join us for next years CMAC. I have personally heard her speak at a conference for OSRAS as well as learned as much as I could from her trip with our club. She's an amazing woman with a phenomenal amount of knowledge. I can't wait to see what she has in store for CTARS
Don't know who Christine is? Here is her bio:
Christine Williams started keeping fish while she was still a fetus. While the aqueous environment did lend itself to the hobby, it limited her to freshwater species, and so she decided to be born several weeks early. Through sign language she demanded that her parents convert her crib into a reef aquarium and thus started her illustrious career in marine ornamentals. After completing her studies in biochemistry and molecular microbiology she went to work at Animal ER where unfortunately she was not filmed for the Animal Planet channel (though her feet did make a cameo during a rescue segment). Currently she is the head of the Industrial Marine Microbiology team for her division of a very large international chemical company, where she spends her days mixing chemicals, microorganisms and plankton together and seeing if they will A) explode, B) glow in the dark, or C) make a good salsa. In order to further her skills she is also a graduate student at Stony Brook University's School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.
We are honored to have Christine back with us once again...stay tuned for further speakers!
