This month’s edition of the Notes of the Association of Marine Laboratories of the Caribbean (AMLC) features our research group!

AMLC is a confederation of 27 marine research, education, and resource management institutions endeavoring to encourage the production and exchange of research and resource management information, advance the cause of marine and environmental education in the region, and facilitate cooperation and mutual assistance among its membership. AMLC also has more than 500 Individual Members with professional research and management interests in the Region. We presented our work at the AMLC meeting in Curaçao last May and we’ll repeat for sure in the next edition (Cancun 2017).

Chromevol’s Sean Campbell at the McNair Conference

Posted by | Conference, corals, Education, Epigenetics, Research | No Comments

Last Friday, Sean Campbell (undergraduate student volunteer at Chromevol) got his first shot at presenting in a scientific meeting! Sean presented preliminary results from the project “Epigenetic responses to nutrient loading the staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis“, on which he collaborates, at the FIU McNair Scholars Research Conference. This study is the result from fieldwork done during last summer in collaboration with Deron Burkepile’s lab at UC Santa Barbara. Our experiments with corals are consistently moving forward showing very interesting results, more info soon! Congrats Sean!!
