Heather Crispen died on June 6, 2011, after a courageous battle with cancer. Heather?s love of science took her to the Harlow Primate Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. She started as a student worker in 1982, and after receiving her B.S. in psychology in 1983, she continued to work there until her illness prevented it. Her passion for science and monkeys continued through her career as she worked her way to becoming a research program manager. Recently Heather was awarded emerita status by the University of Wisconsin after a long and committed career cut short by her illness.
