Abstract
Ross and Joyce Bell as Mentors at the University of Vermont
Highlights
In this contribution I provide an abstract of the unique and long-lasting contribution to the training of students in the natural sciences at the University of Vermont (UVM) that Ross Bell and his wife Joyce made during over 45 years at the University, from 1955 to 2000
I made a similar contribution to the Bellfest, the symposium celebrating Ross and Joyce’s scientific and educational endeavors, in June of 2010
It seems ironic that Ross, who has such a powerful ability as an observer and passion for the beauty of the natural world, should be encumbered by complex visual disorders. It would be wise for a scholarly commentator to identify some shared professional common ground with his subject, and it is in students that we find that common ground
Summary
In this contribution I provide an abstract of the unique and long-lasting contribution to the training of students in the natural sciences at the University of Vermont (UVM) that Ross Bell and his wife Joyce made during over 45 years at the University, from 1955 to 2000. I have had substantial interactions with four of Ross and Joyce’s students: Robert Davidson, Brian Farrell, Jonathan Leonard, and Denise Martin.
