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.

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? To find out more, visit irlspecies.org.

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.
