Are you a young scientist who wants to learn more about the ecology of Maine’s oceans? Want to know how microscopic algae are connected to whales and fishermen; or learn about the ecology of your own backyard? Sydney, a UMaine graduate student with an expertise in harmful algae and its community impact will share her research and field observations alongside us and we explore Maine’s natural environment together.
In five engaging virtual sessions, you’ll learn how to design experiments, collect data, and share your observations with your group. Participants must be prepared to get outside between sessions to collect observations locally. Access to a digital camera will be helpful, but is not required.
This workshop is proudly supported by Maine EPSCoR at the University of Maine, and supplies will be mailed to registered attendees’ homes. Join us and unleash your inner scientist as we discover the fascinating ecology of Maine together. Register by June 24.
