COLUMBUS, OH-Ohio Sea Grant is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Chris
Winslow as its new Assistant Director. Winslow will coordinate the program's
Great Lakes research with agencies and universities, as well as assist in
research, curriculum development, and student recruitment at Ohio State
University's Stone Laboratory.

 

"We are very fortunate to have Dr. Winslow joining the program," Ohio Sea
Grant Director Dr. Jeff Reutter says. "Chris brings a great knowledge of
Lake Erie issues; and his teaching experience at Stone Lab, his leadership
of the Friends of Stone Laboratory, his experience mentoring students, and
his energy and enthusiasm will be of great benefit to the entire program."

 

Winslow earned his doctorate at Bowling Green State University (BGSU), with
his research focusing on the interaction between the native smallmouth bass
and invasive round goby. He studied the behavioral differences between
largemouth and smallmouth bass to earn his master's degree from BGSU, and he
received his bachelor's degree in biological sciences from Ohio University.

 

As an Instructor at BGSU from 2002 - 2009 and an Assistant Professor at
Kutztown University of Pennsylvania for the last two years, Winslow taught
general biology courses to more than 700 students. For the past five years,
Winslow has been a fixture at Stone Laboratory, teaching Aquatic Ecology
classes to high school and college students and mentoring college students
and their Lake Erie research projects in the lab's Research Experience for
Undergraduates Scholarship Program. As president of the Friends of Stone Lab
(FOSL), the lab's support organization, from 2006 to 2008, he helped provide
more than $140,000 in scholarships to nearly 100 Stone Lab students, as well
as instituted new FOSL committees to help streamline event planning and
fundraising efforts.
