Rebecca Jackson, Physical Oceanography.
Rebecca Jackson spent a good part of her formative years on the coastal waters of New Englandin Maine, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Her first jobs as a dockhand and sailing instructor set her on an ocean themed career. As an undergrad at Yale, she majored in physics and dabbled in astrophysics and particle physics research before finding fluid dynamics. In 2010, she started her Ph.D. in physical oceanography in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program, combining her longstanding interests in physics and the ocean with a budding interest in climate. Her Ph.D. advisor is WHOI physical oceanographer Fiamma Straneo, and her mentor for this article was Paul Voosen, a science journalist at
The Chronicle of Higher Education.
