‘Tools of Science’ is a series of unique, educational videos designed to explore the nature and process of science through the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Videos introduce the science and engineering practices from the point of view of practicing
Katrina has been running fun ecology & evolution activities for K-5th grade at a local school. Now they’re online for anyone to try!
From lab meeting this week led by Jennifer Hoey, we developed a “sciku“: Genomes and climate Changing across land, sea, sky. Let’s discover why!
Becca Selden teamed up with DataSpire’s Kristin Hunter-Thomson to develop an educational resource with Science Friday’s educational director Ariel Zych. The resource teaches 7-12th grade high school students to interpret the impacts of warming oceans on marine ecosystems. Lab members Katrina Catalano,

Lots of great presentations this month: Jennifer presented 25 years of changes in population genetic patterns of summer flounder at the Ecological Society of America (ESA) meeting in Portland, OR Sarah presented on genomic evidence for evolutionary rescue in little
Dan Forrest has joined us as a technician helping run eco-evolutionary models for coral reefs around the world. He just spent a year in Equatorial Guinea running a field station, and so has lots of good stories to tell!
Ryan just published a paper in Ecology Letters showing that the number of species in many parts of the coastal ocean is going up, not down as many would expect. He spent the past few years trying to understand how marine
Jordan Holtswarth joined our lab last summer as an REU student and did a wonderful job analyzing photos we had on clownfish reproduction in Leyte, Philippines. Her paper showing they breed November-May (the cold months) is just out in Bulletin
Allison Dedrick and Joyce Ong have just joined the lab as postdocs, and we’re excited to have them here! Allison is coming from a Ph.D. with Marissa Baskett and Loo Botsford at UC Davis, and Joyce just finished her Ph.D.
