Judith H. Myers

She has made important contributions to understanding cycling dynamics through theory, reviews, and data via her long-term monitoring of western tent caterpillars.

Sinclair and her late husband, Jamie (James N.M.) Smith,[16] initially in the Institute of Animal Resource Ecology and later in the Biodiversity Centre at UBC.

[18] Myers was at the forefront of Canadian post-secondary education's efforts to recruit more women in STEM fields during the late 1980s and early 1990s, when she was Associate Dean of Science at the University of British Columbia.

Myers is quoted on p. 298 of Martin Loney's 1998 book critiquing what he described as identity politics in Canadian post-secondary education, The Pursuit of Division: Race, Gender, and Preferential Hiring in Canada.

[20] Loney challenged Myers to produce data to support her assertion that policies impeding women being hired were operating during the 1960s.

Myers describes some of her own experiences as a woman in STEM (including being the first person to take maternity leave in the UBC Faculty of Science[21]) in a special issue of the journal Evolutionary Applications.
