Meet Emma Beretta, a 3rd year @calpoly student majoring in statistics with a biology minor. We hosted Emma through the Frost Summer Undergraduate Research Program #CPFrostResearch@CalPolyCSM with Dr. Hunter Glanz @hglanz, an Associate Professor of Statistics and Data Science.
Last week, the @NMNH Global ARMS Program’s Drs. Chris Meyer and Sarah Tweedt and Dr. Jessica Miles’ team from @PBStateCollege visited @smithsoniansms to process ARMS (Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures) from the Indian River Lagoon and Jupiter Inlet. #oceanarms#biodiversity
Last week we said goodbye to an invaluable member of our team, Garret @gtodonnell. While Garret was part of the BEL at SMS, he was full of puns, our professional selfie-taker, an enthusiastic educator, and an expert invertebrate identifier and photographer who favored the ‘pods.
Proud bestie moment: Emily Ladin @emily_ladin, now Master of Science, kicking her defense’s a** and schooling folks on giant sea bass early development like it’s NBD!! Congrats and wish I could celebrate with you in person 🥂🥳🫶🏼 Can’t wait to see where you’ll succeed next!!
Come work with me and learn about the smaller things in life!
I'm happy to answer any questions about the position, working here, and living in Fort Pierce.

Happy International #WomeninScienceDay! It is a privilege to work with these ladies.
I am so grateful for all the men and women scientists who mentored, supported, and encouraged me in my pursuit of a career in STEM. I wouldn't have made it here without you!
For #WomeninScienceDay, we’re celebrating the research carried out by the #WomenInSTEM in our lab. Dr. Holly Sweat, PI, Dr. Iris Segura-Garcia, Molecular Ecologist, and Jess Glanz, Program Coordinator, work to characterize infaunal communities and the forces that shape them.
#DYK that the Indian River Lagoon spans 1/3 of Florida's East Coast and is home to over 4,000 species?

Who knew collecting infauna from a boat is just like playing the Claw Machine in an arcade?
This is just one part of the quarterly monitoring our lab has been performing since 2005 to study the health of Indian River Lagoon habitats.
At night, algae respire, reducing oxygen and pH levels near their surfaces and between their branches. Small, motile invertebrates associated with algal interstices escape these conditions when they migrate to the tops of branches to forage... or party.
