Professor of Biology Patrick Reynolds was a guest of the Sea Education Association on a cruise of the Society Islands in January. He was invited to experience the program as students do and assess it as a possible study away program. He was also a visiting researcher at the University of Berkeley's Richard B. Gump South Pacific Research Station in Moorea. Reynolds is an expert on marine invertebrate biology, particularly the evolution of Mollusca -- the phylum that includes snails, clams and squid.
His recent publications have appeared in Advances in Marine Biology, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, and in Molecular systematics and phylogeography of mollusks (Smithsonian Institution Press). He is also the editor of Invertebrate Biology, an international journal of the American Microscopical Society.
