Clark attended elementary school in Woodside, Queens, and graduated from Bryant High School in Queens, New York. [2] She was the only student of Japanese descent in her schools. [1] From an early age, Clark was passionate about marine science, with many of her school reports covering topics in marine biology.
She spent the next four years working with other researchers in the Indo-pacific region to identify and describe Mola tecta. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This research in identifying the species determined that they are roughly 50 cm to 2.5 m in size, and unlike other species they do not develop lumps on their bodies as they grow.
Here she spent thirteen years working as a junior researcher in California, developing skills in cellular biology, evolutionary biology, and molecular genetics. [7] She was there during the 1998 bleaching event that killed more than 15% of corals across the world. [4] Gates joined the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology in 2003. [8]
