Two Continents, One Ocean
UC Davis graduate student Elisabeth Sellinger traveled to France as part of the French American Doctoral Exchange (FADEx) Program in Marine Science. From lab visits in Paris and Brest to presenting at the One Ocean Science Congress in Nice, she explored international collaborations, connected with fellow ocean researchers, and even gave her biggest talk yet, just one hour after stepping off the train!


Microplastic Pollution
Reflections on the "Microplastic Pollution: Impact on the SF Bay Delta and Remediation Strategies" symposium hosted by the Coastal Marine Sciences Institute (CMSI) and the Delta Stewardship Council (DSC).
