Her father Johan-Heinrich Moser was an engineer and built the Moser dam in Schaffhausen. In 1896 Fanny Moser became the first female student to register at the University of Freiburg,[1] where she studied medicine. She then began studying zoology in Munich and received her doctorate in 1902, specialising in the developmental history of the vertebrate lung.[2] In 1903 she married the composer Jaroslav Hoppe.[3] They moved to Berlin and Moser began her international research, which included identifying nine new species, most notably the cold-water southern physonect Pyrostephos vanhoeffeni that was collected from the South Pole expedition for the Museum of Natural History in Berlin.[4][5] The prince of Monaco commissioned her to work on his zoological deep sea collection.[6]
She became involved with parapsychology in 1914, releasing a work on the topic in 1935.[7]
