MSI PI Andrew Simons (professor, Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology; Curator of Fishes, Bell Museum) was recently profiled in a blog post by the Bell Museum. The post features the path Professor Simons took to his current positions as a professor and curator. The article can be found on the Bell Museum website: Andrew Simons Path to Fishes.
