Julia Parrish is an ecologist and conservation biologist at the University of Washington known for her research on seabirds and for her leadership in citizen science. She is an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Education and career

Parrish has an undergraduate degree from Carnegie-Mellon (1982)^[1] where she studied biochemistry and biophysics. While she was an undergraduate student, she spent a period of time at the Duke University Marine Laboratory, which she credits for guiding her towards getting her Ph.D. at Duke University studying the schooling behavior of fish.^[2] Parrish moved to the University of Washington^[when?] where she holds the Lowell A. and Frankie L. Wakefield Endowed Professorship.^[3]

Research

Parrish's research is a combination of observational research and conservation activities. Her graduate research centered on fish where she examined mucus production by the

by-the-wind sailor jellyfish with seawater conditions off the beaches of California.^[17]^[18]^[19]

Citizen science

Parrish founded and directs the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team,

COASST, a citizen science project started in 1999 that organizes volunteers to gather details about dead birds and marine debris on beaches along the west coast of the United States.^[20]^[1] Parrish's activities include research into the scale of citizen science projects, the value of in-kind contributions made by volunteers,^[21] factors limiting the use of data collected by citizen scientists,^[22] and demographic factors leading to the success of data collection by citizen science projects.^[23]
