AuthorHi, I’m Tara and I’m a marine biology student at the University of the Virgin Islands. This summer, I will be studying under Dr. Craig Young on a deep sea species of snail. I will be focusing on the reproductive ultrastructure of Ifremeria nautilei . I’m particularly interested in deep sea hydrothermal vent invertebrates and other life in extreme environments. Recently, research on these environments has been used in the search for extraterrestrial life in our solar system. (How cool is that?!) When I’m not in class, I am working at my university’s mangrove restoration lab as an intern, or assisting in the science 100 class as a peer instructor. Outside of academics, you can find me at the beach with a book in my hands surrounded by my friends. ArchivesCategories |
