Dr. Amy Anne Erickson, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at LSUS, received her Ph.D. in Biology from the University of South Florida in 2003 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Smithsonian Marine Station in Fort Pierce in 2006. She has been at LSUS since 2007, where she teaches, advises, and engages students in research. Courses she teaches include General Biology, Marine Environment, Marine Biology, Aquatic Biology, Principles of Ecology, and Biostatistics, among others.
