Susan McConnell
Secretary
a neurobiologist, wildlife photographer, and Professor Emerita of Biology at Stanford University, she earned her undergraduate and doctoral degrees from Harvard University, and in 1989 joined the faculty at Stanford, where she performed ground-breaking research on the development of the mammalian brain. In recognition of the impact of these studies, Prof. McConnell was elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Through teaching and practice, she currently explores the intersection of photography and science, with the goal of promoting biodiversity, conservation, and the preservation of wild places.
