The anecdotes are selected from her recent book, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fish Stories by a Scientific Nobody</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and updated with the latest responses to her various publications in refereed scientific journals.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In childhood Dr. Gerstell was a long-time camper at Les Chalets Francais, just south of Sunshine Road in Deer Isle, and she believes that was an essential prerequisite to her getting into Harvard. After some years as Department Head of Engineering Sciences at the Jensen Beach branch of the Florida Institute of Technology, she finished her career as a staff scientist at Caltech in Pasadena, CA. In later life, she has summered in Stonington since 1995.</span></p>
