Holly Stephens is a second year Masters student at the University of Ottawa, Canada.

Her current study entails a taxonomic review of Zebrias, a genus of Indo-Pacific flatfish, (Family Soleidae).

During her visit she examined flatfish specimens from the Australian Museum and five other Australian fish collections: the Australian National Fish Collection (CSIRO, Hobart), Museum Victoria, Queensland Museum, South Australian Museum and Western Australian Museum.

Holly visited the Australian Museum from 19 November until 7 December 2007.
