Methods and Macroinvertebrates: Innovation in Science Education (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781519193322)

Gwynne Rife is a professor of Biological Science and Teacher Education at The University of Findlay. As an undergraduate she enjoyed training dolphins and working in the inland marine lab at Bowling Green State University where she also received her doctoral degree and second Master's Degree, a Master of Arts in Teaching. Her love of marine science has taken her on a wonderful educational journey. Her work during her Master of Science Degree at Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama and Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Ocean Springs Mississippi gave her love of invertebrates and deep sea life. Inspired by her work with a small tube living amphipod discovered by her major adviser (Stoner, 1988) she enjoyed microscopy and she continued her research with crustaceans back in Ohio working with the states terrestrial isopods (G S Rife, 1993). Her science education interests have included water bears (Gwynne S Rife, 2010), Tsunami's impacts on ecosystem services (G S Rife, n.d.), STEM education (Gwynne S. Rife & McIntosh, 2014), freshwater macroinvertebrates (G S Rife & Moody, 2004), and bioluminescence and deep sea life (G. Rife, 2006). She lives and educates in Ohio with her high school sweetheart and three amazing children. Rife, G. (2006). Adapting to the Deep Sea: A Fun Activity with Bioluminescence. Science Scope, 29(8), 16-20.
