Student Resources

The following compendium was developed by Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML) graduate students as a guide for the student community, living and studying at BML, to connect to resources for academic, professional and personal support.

  • Undergraduate Research Support
  • If you are an undergraduate looking for research opportunities at Bodega Marine Laboratory, we recommend:

    Consider taking summer school classes, and contacting labs to enroll in independent research units. You can read about the labs at BML here.

    If you wish to pursue independent research during the school year, there are several resources to help you:

    After finding a lab accepting student researchers, we suggest that you either apply for independent research units, or pursue a funding opportunity to help offset costs.

    General information on funding can be found at the UC Davis Undergraduate Research Center, and a list of potential opportunities can be found in the Undergraduate Research Program Information Matrix.

    There are also Provost Undergraduate Research Fellowships that award students up to $1,800 to fund an independent project, with further information found at the UC Davis Provost's Undergraduate Fellowship (PUF) website.

  • Student Health Care
  •  General Healthcare

    For students located at BML permanently that do not have easy access to on-campus healthcare, there are several local healthcare options available to you that are covered by UC SHIP insurance. Use the guides below to find an in-network care provider. Note: it is the student’s responsibility to verify that any providers listed through the provided portals accept UC SHIP insurance before treatment.

    Primary Care/Medical Services

     UC Davis provides a list of approved in-network medical professionals, which may differ between post-docs, grad students etc. For grad students who are on UC insurance (not on an outside provider), you can search for many of these in-network providers by following the steps on this guideline. You may be required to get a referral for off-campus care; please verify this prior to making an appointment.

    Learn more about the specifics of UC SHIP coverage here.

    Vision Care

    Vision Care

    UC Davis provides a list of approved in-network vision specialists, which may differ between post-docs, grad students etc. For grad students who are on UC insurance (not on an outside provider), you can search for many of these in-network providers by following the steps on this guideline.

    Learn more about the specifics of UC SHIP coverage here.

    Dental Care

    UC Davis provides a list of approved in-network dentists, which may differ between post-docs, grad students etc. For grad students who are on UC insurance (not on an outside provider), you can search for many of these in-network providers here (select “Delta Dental PPO” under “Plan”). For post-docs on UC insurance, search for in-network dentists here (select "Principal POS Plan" under "Please Choose the Network"). 

    However, some of the dental healthcare providers used by BML residents accepting UC insurance are listed below: 

    Delta Dental (grad students) 

    Nataliya Vorobets DDS, Family Dentistry, 318 S Main St, Sebastopol, CA 95472, (707) 823-3654 

    Dr. Eun Sub Jang DDS, 7138 Willow St, Sebastopol, CA 95472, (707) 823-5308

    Principal POS (post-docs) 

    Dr. Eun Sub Jang DDS, 7138 Willow St, Sebastopol, CA 95472, (707) 823-5308

  • Mental Health Resources
  • Who has access?

    Student Health and Counseling Services provides services to all registered students (undergraduate and graduate). Bodega Marine Laboratory students have the same access to mental health resources that students who attend main campus have from a student fee perspective. From a location perspective, there are many resources that are offered virtually (short-term counseling, group counseling etc). All counselors have the capacity to offer virtual therapy sessions. Check out the resources offered on the Aggie Mental Health website.

    Post-docs, staff and faculty have access to the Academic and Staff Assistance Program.  

    Crisis Resources

    Call 911 if you are experiencing an emergency. 

    The National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline can be reached by calling or texting 988. 

    For a local resource, call 707-575-HELP (4357) to reach the Sonoma County Mobile Crisis Services inRESPONSE team available 7 days a week. Visit the inRESPONSE webpage for times of operation and more information about the service.

    Other crisis resources can be found on the “I need help” webpage. 

    Short-term Counseling with UC Davis Counseling Services

    Student Health and Counseling Services offers brief individual counseling for all registered students. Individual brief counseling sessions typically last 5-6 sessions.

    Navigating Ongoing Long Term Counseling in the Community

    If you are seeking long term counseling, whether you have UC SHIP or your own private insurance, visit the Community Referral webpage for instructions and a phone script to find a therapist in the community. If you have UC SHIP, Lyra has partnered with UC SHIP to offer all members access to their mental health services such as individual therapy, mental health coaching, medication management and self-guided wellness modules for no additional cost.

  • Professional Development Resources
  • Be sure to join the appropriate mail lists. CMSI regularly hosts workshops, panels, and symposiums to practice your presentation and networking skills.

    Another organization to join - the Bodega Marine Sciences Association (BMSA) provides opportunities to engage in community outreach and learn about activities at BML.

    We working to bring professional development workshops out to Bodega Marine Laboratory, but for now check out the Grad Studies Professional Development page for information on resources provided on campus.  

    NCFDD (you can activate your UC Davis institutional membership here) also offers a wide variety of online resources and webinars.

    Grad Pathways provides PDFs and audio recordings of professional development campus-based workshops.

    If you TA on campus, you can take advantage of FREE TA consultations through the Center for Educational Effectiveness. This center also provides quarterly workshops (on campus) for graduate students.

    Ask your advisor and/or committee about professional development opportunities they would suggest!
