She established the bacteriology department at Chapman University, and founded the biology laboratory at Lewis & Clark College.

Between 1895 and 1924, she performed much of her research at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

She was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Geographical Society, and a member of the American Society of Naturalists, American Society of Zoologists, and the Women's Rest Tour Association.
