Aaron Bush
Aaron Bush received his PhD in zoology from the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, studying the feeding ecology of juvenile, scalloped hammerhead sharks. He maintains an academic interest in organismal biology, ecology, and animal movement. With more than twenty years of college-level teaching experience in Hawai’i, New Jersey, and New York, Aaron joined the biology department at Manhattanville University in 2018 and currently teaches principle courses for nursing students. He has served on the board of directors of non-profit charitable organizations, and despite a firm belief that no one needs advanced degrees in multiple fields, he also earned an MFA in film production. In his spare time, Aaron practices the Japanese martial arts of aikido and battodo and enjoys traveling, riding, and working on motorcycles.
