Studies at the Australian Museum, Sydney

Reading Bob Hesslers original notebook from early 1963 I am so much impressed how this guy already back then set the standards of today for isopod taxonomy. Further more, he did not focus on one family, as many people (including myself) would do today. He did them all! He sorted all isopods collected from the Gay-Head-Bermuda Transect by himself, across all families and went to the Zoologisk Museet Copenhagen to check the types of G.O. Sars and Hansen. He shows me the way to go. Let's see, what I can do to keep up with him.
Whatsoever: It is an honor to work on his material and unfinished manuscript!
