We’re excited to share that Andrea C. Alfaro has been appointed as the new director of the UC Davis Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute (CMSI), effective January 1, 2026.

My name is Qing Fields, and I’m an SRJC student dual majoring in Biology and Natural Sciences, with plans to transfer to CSUMB in the fall of 2026 to study Marine Science and Scientific Illustration. I have an enormous passion for marine invertebrate ecology and evolution, and this internship was the perfect fit for me to explore my interests while helping contribute to meaningful research.

Hi, I’m Lucas, a SRJC student who is transferring to UC Davis in the fall of 2025.  At Davis, I will be majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology.  This summer, I had the pleasure of working under Serina Moheed in the Brown lab to further explore my scientific interests.

My time at BML was spent working with Dr. Boles on researching abalone (Haliotis spps.) reproduction and larval success. Dr. Boles has spent her career working with California abalone, investigating the effects of climate change factors on developing larval and juvenile abalone.

I am a second-year Environmental Science major at Santa Rosa Junior College and will be transferring to UC Santa Cruz this fall to complete my undergraduate degree. I spent my summer at the Bodega Marine Laboratory, working under the supervision of Dr. Alyssa Griffin.

Katherine Pearson is a biology student who just finished at SRJC and is transferring to Cal Poly Humboldt in the fall semester of 2025. She is majoring in marine biology but hopes to major in biochemistry as well. She is also interested in getting certified in scientific diving so she can see kelp forests and their inhabitants up close. Her mentors were Maya Munstermann and Elena Wang.
