Erin Wall, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Erin Wall is a postdoctoral fellow with Raincoast’s Cetacean Research Program. Erin holds a PhD in Neuroscience from McGill University where she studied the impact of social bonding on auditory perception, acoustic communication, and neural plasticity in female songbirds. She received her Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Psychology and Editing, Writing, and Media from Florida State University.
She has always been fascinated by communication and expression, from music and language in humans to communication signals and behavior in non-human animals. In her current research, Erin is working with Raincoast, the North Coast Cetacean Society, and the University of Windsor to uncover the factors that shape humpback song learning in the northern Pacific feeding grounds.
