Becoming a scientist and then leaving academia can feel weird. It’s easy to undersell the skills you’ve picked up along the way.

This seminar will talk about some of the challenges and opportunities in searching for opportunities and writing proposals for funding.

Microbial eukaryotes (or protists) in marine ecosystems are a link between microbial primary producers and all higher trophic levels.

Marine microbes are the engines that drive the cycling of carbon and nutrients in the oceans and are responsible for approximately half of all global photosynthesis.

Continued ocean acidification and warming is a major concern for marine organisms, especially for reef-building corals that rely on their symbiotic relationship with algae, which is highly susceptible to perturbation.

Human understanding of the deep-sea benthic environment has always been limited by our ability to sample it, and as a result, deep-sea benthic ecology has a long history of mischaracterization (Edward Forbes’ azoic theory).

Tracking Humpback Whale Movements and Habitat Use off the US West Coast.

Nutrient removal by Greenwich, CT oysters through biodeposition and excretion measurement.

Eddies and filaments mediate biogeochemical and ecological succession of coastal upwelled waters in the California Current System.

Through a number of case studies, Prof. Jason Jaacks will discuss collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches to science communication, established and emerging media organizations and trends, and innovative storytelling tools.
