This is the website of sisters Mary and Valerie Behan.

She spent most of her career as a Research Scientist with Agriculture Canada in Ottawa. Mary has a PhD from University College Dublin. She moved to the United States in the mid-1970s and spent her career as a Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
