I am an Environmental Science student at Santa Rosa Junior High looking to transfer to Sonoma State in Spring of 2027. I am aiming for a career in conservation and I’m interested in many different fields such as ecology and habitat restoration.
It’s the best oyster you’ve (probably) never tasted. For years, many people assumed it was gone from Tomales Bay altogether. But one day, Joe Newman, a Developmental Technician in the Aquatic Resources Group (ARG) at the University of California, Davis, Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML), got a call from a local oyster grower, who jokingly told him to “grab a bottle of hot sauce” and head to a nearby boat launch.
My name is Tyler Stanciu, and I’ve just wrapped up my third year at the Santa Rosa Junior College and am now preparing for my transition to UC Davis this upcoming fall, where I will be completing my undergraduate degree in Animal Science. I plan to specialize in behavior, although my interests also overlap with ecology and evolution.
Hi, my name is Miranda Mintonye, and I am a returning third-year student at Santa Rosa Junior College, majoring in Environmental Science with a focus on habitat restoration and invasive species removal. This summer, I had the immense privilege of being mentored by Luis Morales, the Land Steward at Bodega Marine Reserve.
My name is Alyssa Walls and I am an SRJC student majoring in Biology and Natural sciences. I plan to transfer to UC Davis or UC Berkeley and pursue a degree in Plant Biology or Ecology and Evolution. Since I was little I have always been passionate about nature and loved being outdoors observing plants, insects, and other creatures.
Congratulations to Darrielle Williams, a Ph.D. student in Integrative Pathobiology at the University of California, Davis, working under the mentorship of Dr. Karen Shapiro. Darrielle was recently awarded a Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship through the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries.
