FHL in the News
• UW TODAY article on the "Naturally acidic waters of Puget Sound" which surround FHL.
• PBS Newshour Coverage: Scientists Solve Mystery of West Coast Seastar Plague.
• Science published a letter on Emergency Responses to Marine Disease led by FHL researcher Maya Groner (Cornell), and included Carolyn S. Friedman (UW SAFS), Sandy Wyllie-Echeverria (FHL), and Drew Harvell (Cornell).
• Adam Summers and Misty Paig-Tran taught Functional Morphology and Ecology of Fishes at FHL last summer. Some of their students from that course gave presentations at the 2015 Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) meetings in January, and were in the news for their creative inventions:
Student Katherine Corn worked with grad student Stacy Farina and Adam Summers on a saw with shark teeth for a blade. Science published a summary of the poster.
Student Mackenzie Gerringer's snailfish robot also made the news in Science.
• UW Bio/FHL grad Molly Roberts joined Emily Carrington with Governor Inslee at Penn Cove Shellfish in Coupeville. Governor Inslee’s tweets included photos (links below):
