description: "Alfred Goldsborough Mayor born Mayer was an American physicist, marine biologist and zoologist, whose fascination with medusae (jellyfish) while working with Alexander Agassiz marked a turning point in his career, which shifted from physics to biology. Mayor also had many publications and papers about topics ranging from physics to hunting and fishing. He applied mathematics and physics to biology and took an interest in the formation of color patterns in animals."
