Hi Everyone,
DSBs are a very significant component of our modern reef aquariums and play a very important role in our success in reefkeeping so come meet and hear none other than Rob Toonen talk on the what , whys and hows of DSBs.
Date, Time, & Location: Saturday July 20 at 7PM at the Baylands Interpretive Center in Palo Alto - very cool place to meet.
Directions to Baylands Interpretive Center in Palo Alto
Rob Toonen's BIO: I am a Canadian, born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. If I had to pigeon-hole myself into a specific field, I would say that I am an Invertebrate Larval Biologist, but my interests are fairly diverse, and professional and personal research has been rather eclectic to say the least.
I did my undergraduate degree in Zoology at the University of
Alberta, and my Masters Degree in Marine Biology at the University of North Carolina, where I worked on the reproductive biology and larval settlement of tube-dwelling polychaete worms (Hydroides dianthus). I then went on to do my Ph.D. at the University of California in Davis, where I researched mechanisms of dispersal and population structuring in a number of crab species. In the past, I have done research on jellyfish, shrimp, corals, sponges, sea slugs, and polychaete worms among others.
I have written numerous articles for online organizations including Reefs.Org and G.A.R.F., and frequent a variety of the marine aquarium list-servers and web boards online where I go by the handle of Biogeek. I have also written feature articles for several of the hobby magazines, including Aquarium.Net, Freshwater and Marine Aquarium Magazine, Marine Fish and Reef USA Annual, Practical Fishkeeping, and Tropical Fish Hobbyist. I currently write a monthly question and answer column (Invert Insights) for Tropical Fish Hobbyist, and alternate with Eric Borneman for the Invertebrate Non-column in Advanced Aquarist's Online magazine.
BTW, here is his own personal website with links to his works:
