Excited to share my research on harmful algal blooms (#HABs) and their impact on marine ecosystems!🌊🔬 Thanks for featuring my work @Scripps_Ocean! Check out the video to learn about fieldwork exploring Pseudo-nitzschia HABs. #PhDResearch #MarineScience #ScienceCommunication.
Scripps PhD candidate Steffaney Wood (@steffwould) studies harmful algal blooms or HABs, which is when microscopic algae grow in overabundance & produce toxins that pose a threat to marine mammals. Learn more about her fieldwork in Monterey Bay looking at Pseudo-nitzschia HABs.⬇️
