Hey everyone! My name’s Demi and I’m a recent graduate from FIU with my B.S in Marine Biology.

I’m interested in coral, algae, genetics, microplastics, and conservation. Thats’s just a general gist of what I like but honestly if it’s in the water consider me a big fan haha

[Demi Carballosa @demiswims]

i’m more than willing to pay for shipping and we’ve got our own filters already purchased! i really don’t have many other feasible options with the closeness of my field date. any advice?

[Demi Carballosa @demiswims]

hey #edna folks!
i head to the field on july 8 and and my collaborator who was going to lend me their Smith-Root eDNA Sampler backpack just let me know they can no longer lend it to me. Is there any chance anyone out there is kind enough and willing to let me borrow theirs? ◡̈

If you’re at SICB, check out Demi Carballosa’s very cool urchin poster (from the research we collaborated on during the 2022 FHL REU program) today!

[Demi Carballosa @demiswims]

I’m very excited to present my poster at #SICB2023 on urchins and the symbiotic relationship between kelp and bryozoans!

Poster session: Jan 6 @ 3:30pm in the JW Grand Ballroom. Stop by and you just might get a sticky hand (cause urchins stick!)

@Curly_Biologist @mustymussel it NEEDS to be the absolute norm to have diversity in science. thank you for sharing your experience amani, our voices need to be heard!

[Amani Webber-Schultz @Curly_Biologist]

Being a Black women in STEM and especially in marine science means emotionally preparing yourself for being the only one in the room. I recently had an experience that I want to discuss and hope you’ll read about⬇️

[Melanie Fischer @fisch_inthesea]

Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm a senior at @CofC. I'm into fish morphology/biomechanics/physiology and marine paleobiology/paleozoology. I plan to write my Bachelor's Essay on comparative biomechanics of moray skin! Here are some pictures from my FHL REU program this summer! #latinainstem

[Allison Sharp @asharpscientist]

Finally home from my REU at @MarineBiol_FHL! I am thankful for the time I spent in such a magical place, surrounded by dedicated researchers, doing research I love. This experience truly changed the trajectory of my life & I’m forever grateful! FHL for life!

[Melanie Fischer @fisch_inthesea]

Saying goodbye to the amazing people I've met and the beautiful sights. I'll miss you FHL 💕 here's to a REU-nion at SICB!!

[Naomi Hiʻiaka Vliet @hulilimu]

I can't believe it's already over 😢
Thanks for an amazing summer, I'm gonna miss you guys!!

[Claire Molina @Grizzlyclairee]

Some photos of Pigeon Guillemot (Cepphus Columba) that I took this summer while looking at their nesting behavior!!! I'm going to miss them.

[Hana Larkins🇯🇵 @larkininthedeep]

Hey y’all! I’m Hana and I’m a senior undergrad at Saint Mary’s College. I’m interested in animal behavior and functional morphology in marine organisms! I plan on attending grad school in the future so follow along to see my journey!

[Dr. Lauren Eve Simonitis 🇨🇺🇺🇸 @OceanExplauren]

Last but certainly not least, @demiswims is presenting her summer research! She looked at classifying the relationship between an encrusting byrozoan and kelp by looking at oyster feeding preference

(Also this gets the award for favorite question slide) #FHLREU

[Katie Dobkowski @KatieDobkowski]

@demiswims just gave an awesome presentation of her REU research @MarineBiol_FHL

[Friday Harbor Labs @MarineBiol_FHL]

Our REU Interns are wrapping up their research projects and will be hosting presentations tomorrow, August 2nd from 1pm-5pm in the Commons. You'll will be impressed by what they've accomplished in just 8 weeks! Flyer attached or write to [email protected] for details.

found my urchin named Victor, absolutely enveloping themselves in bryozoan encrusted kelp. they made themsleves into a little urchin sandwich!
