River Falls local named in ground-breaking cuttlefish research

The summer after her freshman year at Ripon College in 2018, Micaela Rivera, of River Falls, was selected to participate in a research experience for undergraduates. While pursuing a major in psychobiology, Rivera worked in Dr. Roger Hanlon’s marine biological laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass. under Dr. Alex Schnell. Rivera assisted in a portion of the hands-on research investigating the self control of cuttlefish. Dr. Schnell recently published a nationally recognized paper which outlines their findings - and Rivera’s name is on it.  How did you decide to attend Ripon? I really enjoyed the natural areas on campus, and the Psychobiology degree fit me perfectly. I wanted to have an emphasis in animal behavior, and there was a professor there, Julia Meyers Manor, who specialized in that area. I ve been lucky to have a couple of great professors as mentors.

Why Cuttlefish Are Smarter Than We Thought

What surprised me the most was that the level of self-control shown by our cuttlefish was quite advanced, she tells Lulu Garcia-Navarro on Weekend Edition. The experiment was essentially a take on the classic marshmallow experiment from the 1960s. In that experiment, young children were presented with one marshmallow and told that if they can resist eating it, unsupervised, for several minutes, they will get two marshmallows. But if they eat it that s all they get.
