BML Summer Students Share Their Science Through Short Films
Coastal Marine Research (BIS 124) was taught at Bodega Marine Laboratory during Summer Session I by Professor Eric Sanford. Undergraduate students in this course received training in all aspects of the research process and then put their new skills to work during independent research projects conducted in teams of two. Students shared their research findings via a scientific talk delivered at the BML Student Research Symposium on August 1, and a final paper archived in the Cadet Hand Library at BML.
Students also developed science communication skills for engaging non-scientists. Students produced 3-minute films to highlight their research for general audiences and premiered their work at a Film Festival at Bodega Marine Lab on July 30. These films are now available to watch below.
