Mark Vinson, PhD
Station Chief, Lake Superior Biological Station.
I have studied aquatic plants, invertebrates, and fish from caves, springs, rivers, lakes and wetlands throughout the world. I am comfortable in uncomfortable places. I currently study recruitment dynamics of Lake Superior ciscoes (Bloater, Cisco, and Kiyi). I have a gift for data analytics and a fondness for voguish data graphics.
