ACER “Tool Talk” Series Discusses Genetic Diversity
This entry in the series discusses how scientists look at biodiversity on the genetic level by identifying variations in genes between individuals.
CARTHE Director Participates in Reddit AMA Event
An AMA – short for “Ask Me Anything” – is a public question-and-answer event hosted on the discussion website Reddit. Director Tamay Özgökmen spent five hours responding to roughly 200 questions from users about his research, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the importance of our oceans.
C-IMAGE Researcher Granted Microbiome Award
Dr. Andrea Tarnecki was recently given the award, presented by MO BIO Laboratories, to study the effects of oil exposure on fish. Congratulations!
FIU News Features DEEPEND Research
Ahead of the upcoming feature film Deepwater Horizon, FIU News highlighted the consortium’s efforts to uncover the spill’s environmental and ecological impacts. Their efforts will help better prepare scientists, first responders, and policy makers to understand, respond to, and mitigate damage from future spills .
ECOGIG Kicks off Deep Corals and Oil Cruise
The expedition will collect data about the health of deep-sea corals and their microbial associates and how these organisms are responding to natural oil and gas exposure. Learn more about the cruise here and see photos from the cruise here!
New Orleans Students Analyze LADC-GEMM Data
Five Warren Easton Charter High School students will participate in the Warren Easton Research Group, where they will learn how to analyze and interpret data and how to communicate and collaborate in a professional environment. The students will analyze sperm whale, beaked whale, and dolphin sound data using a graphical user interface and create weekly PowerPoints communicating their work.
