Woo-hoo! Shout to the amazing @CatrinaNow, PhD student in my lab, who is reshaping how we think about pelagic-benthic coupling and the drivers of the biological pump! Also an incredible artist and science communicator, as well as #DisabilityAdvocate in STEM. #WomeninSTEM
With a passion for science and art, @universityofri #URIGSO Ph.D. student Catrina Nowakowski @catrinanow is researching how the surface and bottom of the ocean are connected through time. Learn more in this week’s Get to Know GSO! #GTKGSO

Working was somebody outside of my field has been an incredibly valuable experience, together we were able to take my thesis work and reframe the way it’s presented to accomplish personal goals that we share in our work I can’t wait to see what we come up with next now!

The sculpture also translates the relationship between copepod size and temperature observed in the data I study, as the water temperature has increased over the last decade, animals in the food web have trended towards smaller sizes

The sculpture is meant to visualize how marine food webs depend on the smallest of organisms such as phytoplankton to support the large animas above such as cod fish
