Master in Biology degree from California State University Northridge Doctorate in Marine Science degree from SUNY Stony Brook Currently: completing MAT program in Science at SUNY Stony Brook & Assistant Clerk of the East Hampton Town Trustees
Dr. Stephanie Talmage Forsberg is the 12thgeneration of her family to live in East Hampton Town. She is just finishing her forth year as an East Hampton Town Trustee, and has been the Assistant Clerk of the Trustees for the past two years. Stephanie is up for re-election in November 2011. Stephanie earned her B.S. from Cornell University, her Master’s in Biology from California State University Northridge, and her Ph.D. from the Stony Brook University. Stephanie has studied many marine environments, all around the globe, from Long Island to Mexico to Tahiti and back. Stephanie has been made many advances in her work as a full time researcher for Stony Brook University. While working on her Ph.D. research, Stephanie researched ocean acidification and it’s effects on the growth and development of our local hard clam, oyster, and bay scallop. She has numerous publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. While on the Trustee board, Stephanie has served on the aquaculture, Three Mile Harbor, Napeague Harbor, Accabonac Harbor, Pump-Out Boat, and education committees. For the past four years on the Trustee board, Stephanie has worked adamantly in cleaning our beaches, keeping beach access for all residents, fighting the salt-water fishing license and fee imposed by the state, as well as numerous other tasks to ensure that East Hampton Town residents will be able to enjoy the beauty of our beaches today and well into the future.
In continuation of her passion for the sciences, Stephanie is currently persuing her MAT degree at Stony Brook University and completing all requirements for certification to teach science in New York State. When completed in December 2012, Stephanie hopes to find a job in teaching science on the East End of Long Island. She will be certified to teach grades 5-12 general science, Living Environment (Biology), AP Biology, Earth Science, AP Environmental, Marine Science, Science Research, and/or Forensics.
