Autorenporträt
Gene Helfman is an animal behaviorist turned conservation biologist. With a PhD in ecology from Cornell University, Gene was on the faculty of the University of Georgia for thirty years, authoring four books on fish and marine conservation and dozens of related scientific papers. He spent much of his professional career underwater demonstrating that fish are smarter than conventionally thought. In an effort to get the message to a larger audience and on the premise that more people read fiction than nonfiction, he has turned to writing screenplays and novels. Gene and his wife, Dr. Judy Meyer, an aquatic ecologist, live on Lopez Island in Washington State.For more on orcas, etc, visit https://genehelfman.pubsitepro.com.
