Dr. Ingrid N. Visser (International Fellow - 2003, New Zealand) Areas of Interest: Orca Research & Conservation, Antarctica, Papua New Guinea Brief Bio: Ingrid was born, in New Zealand, to Dutch parents. She grew up on a sheep and cattle farm. When she was 16 years old she sailed around the world with her parents and younger sister. Their trip took four and half years and upon her return Ingrid began her academic career. She has a BSc and an MSc, but it was the work of her life-long passion with orca (also known as killer whales) which earned her a PhD. Ingrid No news pieces from Dr. Ingrid N.
