Master’s student Samantha Clements summarizes the ongoing summer activities of the Smith Lab. From research travels around the world to data processing right here at home, there’s no such thing as summer break from science… and it’s awesome!
The Smith Lab Reaches Out!
Science outreach is an extremely vital tool for the Smith Lab. What good is knowledge if you don’t share it? Jill Harris talks about her experience judging science fair projects at the San Diego Science Fair.
The Grass is Always Greener…
Members of the Smith Lab get to travel the world to conduct their coral reef research, but PhD student Levi Lewis reminds us that when you live in San Diego, life is not too bad.
6 AM: Not Just for Sleeping
Alex Neu, an undergraduate student from California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB), worked in the Smith Lab throughout the entire summer. Experiencing all the aspects of a marine scientist, he describes what motivates him to continue to pursue this rewarding career path.
Smith Lab In Action!
Summer may be at its peak, but members of the Smith Lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) are still hard at work! Some are out & about around the world checking on their experiments and collecting data, others are right here in San Diego learning new skills and working on various projects. Find out what people are up to!
Looking Back to the Line Islands
In the fall of 2010, researchers from SDSU, SIO, and other coral reef ecologists collaborated together for a research cruise to the Northern Line Islands, home to the some of the most pristine coral reef ecosystems still thriving in the world today.
New Ocean Acidification Sensor Installed at Scripps!
Members of the Smith Lab head the effort to install Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s (SIO) first ocean acidification monitoring system. This monitoring system will provide essential data that will allow researchers to monitor changes in ocean chemistry over time and help them better understand the effects of these changes to local marine ecosystems.
Adventures with Algae!
Here’s a photo album of all the different aspects of Dr. Jennifer Smith’s phycology class: From lecture to lab work to field collecting. Enjoy the photos because we definitely enjoyed the experience!
Moonlighting as a Terrestrial Ecologist…
Catching up with… Clint Edwards! Clint talks about his slight detour from the life of a Master’s student and shows off his skills as a docent at the Scripps Coastal Marine Reserve’s grand re-opening.
