From hives to shellfish herds to complex cultures, the intricacies of community living are both amazing and instructive about the evolution of behavior, cooperation, intelligence, and emotions.

She holds two psychology degrees: a bachelor of science from Ohio State University and a master of arts from the University of Hawaii.
