Wendy Noke Durden is a scientist at the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute, known for her expertise in marine biology and environmental science. She has conducted significant research on the impact of harmful algal blooms on marine life, particularly focusing on dolphins as sentinel species for coastal ecosystem health. In a recent study, Durden highlighted the alarming parallels between the neurological effects observed in dolphins exposed to toxic algae and Alzheimer's disease in humans, raising concerns about shared environmental risks faced by both species.
