Myra Keen
Angeline Myra Keen (1905–1986) was an American malacologist and invertebrate paleontologist. She was an expert on the evolution of marine mollusks. With a PhD in psychology, Keen went from being a volunteer, identifying shells at Stanford, and having no formal training in biology or geology, to being one of the world's foremost malacologists.〔〔 She was called the "First Lady of Malacology".
==Early life==
Angelina Myra Keen was born in 1905 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She was an only child, and when she was two, her family moved to just outside of the town of Lytle, Colorado (now within Fort Carson). They built their own house and had 1200 acres, where Keen herded cattle and rode horses. She was raised as a Quaker. Her father was a cattle rancher and postmaster.〔 As a teenager she was a hobbyist photographer and naturalist.〔 Keen's family moved back to Colorado Springs so she could attend a city high school, which she graduated from in 1923.〔 Keen earned her Bachelor of Arts at Colorado College in 1930.〔 She did not like dissecting animals, and despite a love for nature, she decided to study psychology.〔 Keen went on to get her Master of Arts in psychology at Stanford and her PhD, also in psychology, from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1934.〔 Her mother moved with her to California, while Keen's father stayed in Colorado and ran a chicken farm.〔
While studying at Berkeley, Keen became interested in seashells, which she collected during trips to Monterey. She would bring the shells back and sell them at a shop in Berkeley. Eventually she moved to Monterey to live because it was cheaper than the East Bay area.〔 Struggling to find a job, Keen started volunteering at Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station, identifying seashells for the geology department and working under Ida Shepard Oldroyd.〔〔 The volunteer position was her first time studying mollusks, aside from previous classes in geology, biology and statistics.
