Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 47, No. 1, Pg. 27:
Kristin Pangallo has dreamed about working with dolphins and whales since she was a little girl in Plattsburgh, N.Y. Her interest in marine science brought her to WHOI as a research technician after she earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Bates College in 2002. Working at WHOI convinced her that her future lay in chemical oceanography, and in 2004, Pangallo started in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program. Now in her fifth year, she continues to be fascinated with the marine world and thrilled that her research benefits the amazing creatures that initially inspired her. Outside of science, Pangallo's passion is dance, and she can's wait to get back in the studio once she's completed her Ph.D. She is a proud alum of Up with People, Cast B -97, the performing troupe that also assists communities.

Joint Program graduate student Kristin Pangallo's childhood wish to work with whales and dolphins branched into a bachelor's degree in chemistry then a job as a research technician at WHOI. Following her interests into graduate school, she entered the MIT/WHOI Joint Progam in 2004. Now extracting compounds from blubber, she studies the bio-magnification of certain chemicals in animals on top of the marine food chain?the whales and dolphins she once dreamed of working with. Outside the lab, Pangallo is a dancer and proud alumna of "Up with People" (cast of 1997), the performing group that promotes multicultural understanding and community service.
