We had 9 students presenting research at Bays & Bayous Conference in Biloxi this week. In addition, there was a ton of lab alumni presenting their research as well. We had to past and present lab photo!!  Kayla Beitzel successfully defended her masters prospectus today. Her thesis entitled 'Impacts of disturbance and nutrient addition on coastal dune arthropod communities and trophic interactions' explores response of ground insect communities on Dauphin Island to disturbance and nutrient addition.  Over the last 12 months, Dr Jeremiah Henning has contributed to the AAAS mutlidiciplinary working group tasked with Empowering Career Pathways in STEMM. The full report and the groups short, medium, and long-term recommendations can be found here. www.aaas.org/governance/empowering-career-pathways-stemm-multidisciplinary-working-group?intcmp=home-ecp&utm_id=recLA37z5z9cQloNQ  Emily Parrish defended her Honors prospectus this week which is exploring the morphological and physiological responses of Atlantic Ghost Crabs to glass sand substrates, which is part of a larger project exploring the feasibility of glass sand made from recycled glass bottles for coastal dune restoration projects.  Chelsea received the Association of Southeastern Biologists graduate travel award to attend the upcoming conference in Chattanooga!
Undergraduate Emily Parrish and MS student Chelsea Thornton just got word that both of their proposals for the Walter F Coxe Research Grants were funded by Alabama Audobon. These projects will allow both Chelsea and Emily to pursue projects associated with Atlantic Ghost Crabs.
