Brenna applied and successfully obtained a Ruth D. Turner scholarships in Marine Biology for her project entitled "Teamwork throughout evolutionary time: characterizing the gut and tunic associated microbiomes of four Belizean ascidian species". Priority is given to proposals involving molluscs, so Brenna's work on the ascidian microbiomes was highly regarded! Congratulations Brenna!!

On Friday May 13, 2022 we celebrate one more time the many accomplishments of several of our iMESA Lab members: Caylee Lindsay graduated in Biology, Mina Surprenant (co-advised with Dr. Jessie Jarvis) and Sammy Morrison obtained their Master degrees in Marine Biology and we even got to celebrate the PhD degree of Dr. Peyton Thomas (advisor Dr. Steve Kinsey), who started her thesis with sea-squirts even if she finished it with fish! So proud of the 2022 crew! Go Seahawks!
