Dr. Lori Marino is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology and a faculty affiliate of the Center for Ethics at Emory University. She is also a Research Associate with The Smithsonian Institution. Her specific interests are in brain-behavior relationships, the evolution of intelligence, self-awareness in other species, and, more recently, human-nonhuman relationships. She has also studied the bubble ring play of bottlenose dolphins. In 2001 she and her colleague Diana Reiss published the first evidence for mirror self-recognition in bottlenose dolphins in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. She developed and continues to teach Brain Imaging, and also teaches several other content courses in comparative neuroanatomy and animal behavior. Dr. Marino is very interested in not only training students to be critical thinkers and scientists but also in providing an academic context for the study of non-invasive models of science, animal welfare, advocacy, and ethics. Lori Marino is the Nonhuman Rights Project science advisor.
