| dc.description.abstract | A fateful decision as a 15-year-old high school student, and good advice from a distinguished professor of zoology, were the catalysts that not only decided my entire career but also led me to the Journal of Comparative Physiology A, and to the myriad biological wonders that were held within its covers. In my celebration of JCPA, I look back on the formative years of my career in Australia, and the crucial role that the journal played in shaping my emerging research interests, and ultimately my entire life. | en |
| dc.description.sponsorship | A life in science is not simply a job, it is an all-encompassing passion. It is a rich tapestry of discovery, of wonder, of journeys and of enduring friendships. And after 4 decades in science there is much to be thankful for. But thinking back to those early years it was not clear to me then just how much my early teachers, supervisors and mentors did to pave my path forward. I am deeply thankful to all of them for the role they played in enriching my life, particularly my honours supervisors Joe Wolfe and Hans Coster at the Department of Physics and David Sandeman and entomologist Eric Shipp at the Department of Zoology (University of New South Wales), my PhD supervisors Adrian Horridge, Peter McIntyre and \u201CSrini\u201D Srinivasan in the Department of Neurobiology at the Australian National University, the late Robert Pinter (University of Washington and Visiting Fellow at the Australian National University, 1987) and my postdoc supervisor and close life-long friend Dan-Eric Nilsson from the University of Lund in Sweden. My deepest thanks to all of you! And finally, of course, I am immensely grateful to the Journal of Comparative Physiology A, whose pages have taught me about the vision and visual ecology of insects and have made my life distinctly richer. | en |
