== Early Career and Education ==
Bernd Würsig is the youngest of three sons of Gerhard and Charlotte Würsig,〔 Silesian refugees who moved to (then) West Germany after the 2nd World War, and to the United States under a refugee family visa in 1956. They settled in Ohio, and Würsig became interested as a boy in marine mammals after reading books by the Austrian explorers Hans Hass and Lotte Hass, French Jacques Cousteau, and American John Cunningham Lilly.〔Grady D. 2003. More Grady’s People. Pp. 157-170 “U.S. dolphin professor who loves Kaikoura”. Nikau Press, Nelson, New Zealand.〕 He went to Ohio State University, and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology (minor in Germanic Literature) in 1971. Würsig went to Stony Brook University (then the State University of New York at Stony Brook), 1971-1978, in an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program with advisors in the Departments of Marine Science, Ecology and Evolution, and Neurobiology and Behavior. His advisors in the latter two, George Williams in Ecology and Evolution and Charles Walcott in Neurobiology and Behavior, had a strong influence on Würsig’s career, as the former imbued him with a sense of the wonders of animal social/sexual strategies, and the latter with a lifelong appreciation for how to think about animal capabilities, relative to our own capabilities of observation with basic tools such as binoculars to sophisticated radio, theodolite, and other remote sensing techniques. Würsig's field advisor Roger Payne, the discoverer of humpback whale song and long-range communication in fin and blue whales, was his mentor during field work on dolphins in coastal Patagonia, Argentina.〔 Würsig also worked with (Kenneth S. Norris ),〔Norris KS. 1994. Introduction. Pp. 1-13 in Norris KS, Würsig B, Wells RS, Würsig M, eds. The Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin. University of California Press, Berkeley, CA.〕 University of California at Santa Cruz, 1978-1981, as a National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation post-doctoral fellow, and then became assistant professor at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, central California, where he went through the professor ranks in the 1980s, becoming full professor in spring 1989. That year, he and Melany and their two children Paul and Kim moved to Texas A&M University, where he started the Marine Mammal Research Program (now (Marine Mammal Behavioral Ecology Group )), and which he still uses as home base.〔
