Sea Grant’s #CommunityEngagedInternship provides training & mentorship to the next generation of scientists and decision-makers.

This summer, undergraduate students worked with Sea Grant programs on place-based #research, #outreach, #education & #communication projects.

When oysters are faced with disease, do they shift their energy towards reproduction or fighting infection? Lauren Huey, VASG Grad Fellow shares her research on oyster tolerance at #CERF2017 & notes the important role of oyster sanctuaries @vaseagrant @TheOddOyster

[Samuel J Lake @Sam_J_Lake]

Ryan Carnegie presents on the evolution of oyster disease in CB at #CERF2017 What cause the dramatic transition of the parasite in the 1980s? Climate, exotic parasite species... if you weren’t there connect with @RBCarnegie to learn more. @VIMS_News @TheOddOyster @vaseagrant

AJ Johnson’s (VASG Supported Student @AJJohnson1607) research on sea grass seed burial in Australia is really that exciting! Stop by #CERF2017 poster C030 to learn which bioturbators play the most important role (urchins, sand dollars, or sea stars).

[Samuel J Lake @Sam_J_Lake]

Stop by #CERF2017 Poster C078 to hear how Mrunmayee Pathare, Univ. Louisiana Lafayette MS student is studying the impact of micro-zooplankton structure in Atchafalaya Bay. She is filling in an important but unknown gap in Gulf coastal waters. @ULLafayette

[Samuel J Lake @Sam_J_Lake]

Great hearing how VIMS alum Amy Foxgrover and colleagues are monitoring wetland restoration efforts in south San Francisco Bay. #CERF2017

[Samuel J Lake @Sam_J_Lake]

@DavidSamJohnson @BethanyyyLynnn Proof the room was overflowing! Great job @BethanyyyLynnn

[Samuel J Lake @Sam_J_Lake]

Special thanks to Karen McGlathery who stepped in for @vaseagrant Director Troy Hartley to present on all the great resiliency work underway in HR at #CERF2017 Community-level co-developed projects; trans-disciplinary science training; collaboration throughout the state

[Susan Park @SPark_RVA]

Great set of talks on Hampton Roads adaptation design projects, and lots of kudos to @vaseagrant for their innovative work that led to big HUD grant! #CERF2017

[Samuel J Lake @Sam_J_Lake]

#CERF2017 asked where the sea grass geneticists were yesterday- today Gina Digiantonio (VASG Knauss Fellow) takes the stage to present her edge-of-range sea grass population genetics research. Note - no clones were produced during this study.

Who said N cycling was hard to explain to an audience? Awesome presentation by Anna Murphy (VASG Grad Fellow alum) examining the role of microbes in cycling nitrogen (and sulfur!) in salt marshes.
