Jefferson Humbert

Jefferson (Jesse) Humbert grew up in Oregon at the base of Mt. Hood. After moving to Washington for college he began to explore the San Juan Islands and developed a passion for marine biology. After completing his masters in Marine Biology and teaching at Rosario Beach Marine Station, Jesse took a year off to work for National Geographic and travel. Jesse eventually returned to academia to further explore octopus behavior and marine ecology. The basis of his research relies on deep sea motion detecting cameras which can record the activities of octopuses as they go about their lives.
