MEET THE JELLYOLOGISTS
Jellyfish are studied by a relatively small group of biologists, ecologists, genetics experts, statisticians and other researchers based around the world. Many of these researchers have studied jellyfish with NSF funding, collaborated closely with NSF-funded researchers, used NSF-funded research vessels or have been affiliated in some other way with NSF.
Every few years, jellyfish researchers meet to discuss their research and other jellyfish news. The Web site of the Second International Conference on Jellyfish is http://www.griffith.edu.au/conference/jelly2007.
