  I went with

  and worked with the Youth

  on two trips down to New Orleans

  LA

  following Hurricane Katrina. We continued to help rebuild old houses (with the people still in them). I joined the Youth Group because I teach teenagers and I love them- they are all somebodies baby. I had told them and the Church the impact Katrina had on my life and I wanted to go back and help others. We went twice to New Orleans 7th&9th ward to help those individuals who stayed or returned to damaged houses. Our Youth Group was fantastic

  emotional

  involved and inspirational. They did things they did not know they could do! The most rewarding experience I have ever had.

  I was hired to start or develop a Biology and Marine Biology Program for the Gulf Coast Campus. I worked out the curricula with the main campus

  and we began advertising the Majors. I was the only Professor so I taught every course needed for the first majors to graduate in 4 years! I set up the labs

  and taught them and all lectures in 8 different courses. i did this for 4 years before hiring another Biology Professor and adding a Chemistry Professor. The program grew tremendously. I am very proud of that. I left the campus and my program after Hurricane Katrina.

  Part time teaching Biology courses and beginning work with my colleagues Marie Simovich on her fairy shrimp from southern California vernal pools. I will do histology and continue looking at diapause

  as well as my continued work on copepod diapause. At the end of this research period at USD

  I will be writing a synthesis of diapause. It will be a summary of all that I have learned in the last 25 years. \nAt USD I have interacted with the Dean's Advisory Council for Adjunct Instructors to promote better the life

  salary

  and benefits of All Adjunct Professors. I am also a member of the new Adjunct Action network. I strongly support the Academic world to Re-investigate the role of Adjunct Professors in the United States. Having recently become part of that group

  I fully realize how socially and financially Abused Adjuncts are. It is time for All Professors

  teaching at the University level to be treated equally. Granted they may or may not have been tenured

  or do research full time

  but they are committed to teaching in ways that full time tenured faculty are often not. I

  Association for Women in Science

  I joined AWIS while doing my Masters degree at Louisiana State University. This group of female scientists became SO important to me in terms of support and persistence. This group of women in Baton Rouge

  LA became my role models to show me that all types of women make it in science- in All Different Ways! That was the most important thing I learned at that time. Some of those members have become life-long friends.\nLater on

  Myself and two other grad students (Pam Pape-Lindstrom & Sara Lindsey) decided to form the AWIS Chapter for the area around USC-Columbia. This propelled into a very vocal voice for Women in Science. I participated in panel discussions on women in science and appeared on public TV

  featuring female scientists at the University of South Carolina

  Columbia.

  CAREER HIGHLIGHT* i Discovered a New Species of Crustacea!

  Working under the guidance of my Mentor

  Dr. Clyde Goulden

  Department of Limnology

  The Academy of Natural Sciences

  Philadelphia

  PA

  quite some time ago

  I thought I had a new species of Cladocera

  a freshwater water flea. He agreed and sent me to the Collections Department

  Division of Invertebrates at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington

  D.C.

  which I did. I then traveled to the British Museum of Natural History in London to get verification from the experts there (they agreed with me

  new species). I then traveled up to the Freshwater Biological Institute

  Windemere

  England

  on a small island. I met with the world expert

  Dr. Geoff Fryer

  and he verified I did indeed have a new specie of Cladocera. I went through the laborious stages of getting it passed through the International Society of Scientific Nomenclature and finally published it in the Proceedings of theBiological Society of Washington

  D.C. I named the new specie after my mentor

  Dr. Goulden. The new water flea is \"Ilyocryptus gouldeni

  Williams

  Doctor of Philosophy

  My Doctoral Dissertation consisted of 3 sections

  from which I published 4 peer reviewed articles. The first portion was an Ecological study on a Harpacticoid copepod

  the second was a Histological/morphological analysis of the tiny Crustacea and the third was a Literature Review of Dormancy in Free-living Copepods. The review manuscript was 65 pages long

  citing 230 scientific journal articles! It was published in Oceanography and Marine Biology an Annual Review (by T.J. International Ltd.

  Great Britain.
