The joy of tackling a novel research question hypnotized me. I found myself engaged in ways I did not imagine possible.
Hans Singh | Recent PhD graduate
Fieldwork is always a pleasant reminder of why I love what I do, and during a toxic bloom, I'm reminded of how important research is.
Steffaney Wood | 5th-year PhD student; marine chemical biology
...Doing field work in Moorea, French Polynesia, I had the epiphany that I wanted to help understand the pollution-related issues threatening the marine ecosystems I knew and loved.
Natalie Grayson | 2nd year PhD student; marine biology
I really love working in the lab, spending my afternoons culturing bacteria from marine sediments and analyzing the compounds that they make.
