The people behind the science

Norman Lee, Ph.D.
Principal Investigator
Norman Lee is a neuroethologist and Associate Professor of Biology, as well as Director of the Neuroscience Program at St. Olaf College. He earned his Ph.D. in Cell and Systems Biology from the University of Toronto and completed postdoctoral training in auditory neuroethology at the University of Minnesota. At St. Olaf, he teaches biology and neuroscience courses while leading a dynamic undergraduate research lab. His research explores how animals, from insects to frogs, use sound to make decisions in noisy and ever-changing environments. Equally important, he is dedicated to mentoring students from diverse backgrounds and supporting them in discovering their own paths in science.
