Um höfundinn
Rannveig Magnúsdóttir lauk B.S.-prófi í líffræði frá
Háskóla Íslands 2001 og M.S.-prófi frá sama skóla árið
2005 í samstarfi við Deakin-háskóla í Geelong, Ástralíu.
Hún stundaði nám í 2 ár við Kvikmyndaskóla Íslands og
útskrifaðist þaðan árið 2007. Nú stundar hún doktors-
nám í spendýravistræði við Háskóla Íslands í samstarfi
við háskólann í Oxford og verkefnið snýst um fæðuvist-
fræði minks og mögulegar breytingar á fæðuvali í kjölfar
umhverfisbreytinga.
