Dr. Russell Perl

Lead researcher at NEUM M.O.L. Undergraduate in microbiology at Northwestern University of Chicago. Masters and Doctorate in Micro Science from University of Miami (FL).

In 1995 Dr. Perl came to NEUM from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, where he was associate researcher in a study of peanut flies.

In 1998 Dr. Perl teamed up with lead biologist Dr. Betty Brandt to provided the first exhaustive research on the Dust Bunny discovery.


Dr. Betty Brandt

Lead biologist at NEUM M.O.L. Undergraduate in Physiology and Humane Studies at University of Colorado. Masters in Micro Science at University of Colorado. Doctorate in Advanced Zoology at San Diego State University.

Came to NEUM from a independent study of African monkeys and moderate to large felines in South Africa.

With a primary background in studying organisms in their natural habitat, Dr. Brandt teamed with Dr. Perl and engineer Lars Flory to use advanced microscopics to study the life and culture of the Dust Bunny.


Lars Flory

Interim NEUM M.O.L. researcher. Undergraduate and Master's studies in Mechanical and Electrical engineering at Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg in Germany.

Came to United States in 1999 to study advanced microscopic's with the United States military. In 2004 Flory developed the Nano-Cam, the most advanced instrument in studying microscopic and sub-atomic organisms.

With the discovery of the Dust Bunny, advanced microscopic technology was needed to further understand their environment and physiological structure. Flory joined the lab in 2004 after development of his Nano-Cam and remains with the M.O.L. on an interim basis.


Paul Heeger

Undergraduate in Microbiology at Northeastern University of Montana. Masters in Biological Theory at University of Wisconsin - Madison.

Part of the M.O.L. team for two years, Paul has been crucial in studies on DuB life patterns and cultural developments.

 


Kim Hupe

Undergraduate in Marine Biology at University of Southern California. Additional BS in Micro Physiological Research from Cal Poly Tech. Masters in Pathology from Colorado State University.

Part of the M.O.L. team for four years, Kim has helped in standardizing techniques to track DuB life.

 


Sydney Fischer

Undergraduate and Masters in Microbiology from University of Texas.

With the M.O.L. team for one year, Sydney has already made advances in DuB storage techniques and efficiency.
