Caitlin Elizabeth O'Connell-Rodwell is an instructor at Stanford University Medical School, scientific consultant, author, co-founder and CEO of ''Utopia Scientific'', and a world-renowned expert on elephants. Her elephant research was the subject of the Elephant King, an award-winning Smithsonian Channel documentary. == Education and career == Caitlin O’Connell received her B.Sc. in biology at Fairfield University in 1987 with a minor in French and art history and in 1991 her M.Sc. at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in ecology, evolution and conservation biology, involving research on seismo-acoustic communication of planthoppers.〔Cheryl Ernst: (Understanding Elephants: UH scholars study wild and working animals on two continents ), malamalama, May, 2007 Vol. 32 No. 2, University of Hawai'i System〕 In the course of three-year government contract involving efforts to mitigate conflicts between farmers and African elephant, she observed that also the elephants performed seismo-acoustic communication. Based on five years of experiments with captive elephants in the United States, Zimbabwe and India,〔 she earned her Ph.D. in ecology at the University of California, Davis in 2000.〔(Curriculum vitae, Caitlin Elizabeth O’Connell-Rodwell ) (PDF; 173 kB)〕 She has subsequently worked at Stanford University Medical School as postdoctoral fellow,〔(Previous Postdoctoral Fellows ), Stanford University Medical School〕 as assistant professor and (currently) as instructor at its Department of Otolaryngology.〔 In October 2002, together with Timothy Rodwell, she founded ''Utopia Scientific'', a non‐profit corporation in San Diego that is dedicated to science and public health education. In spring 2013 she joined Georgia College as the inaugural Martha Daniel Newell Visiting Distinguished Scholar.〔(Visiting Scholars: Dr. Caitlin O'Connell-Rodwell ), Georgia College〕 O'Connell's work has focussed on elephant communication and elephant societies.〔 At Stanford's Department of Otolaryngology, she investigates the role that the propagation and detection of vibrations play in elephant communication, aiming at applying elephant vibrotactile studies to humans, including the hearing-impaired and the profoundly deaf.〔(Research Labs: Caitlin O’Connell-Rodwell ), Stanford School of Medicine, Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS)〕〔Tracie White: (For elephants, deciding to leave the watering hole demands conversation, study shows ), October 2, 2012, Stanford School of Medicine〕 (For related approaches, see: Sensory substitution.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caitlin O'Connell-Rodwell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
