Ocean Microbes Group

Prof. Claudia Benitez-Nelson of the University of South Carolina visited the Duke Marine Lab and gave a stirring seminar on harmful algal blooms off of California.  Claudia’s talk, “Neurotoxins and the Environment. Understanding the Production, Cycling and Fate of Domoic Acid Along the California Coast” was a fantastic mixture of oceanography and environmental monitoring, all in the context of environmental change and management. Can’t wait to have her come back and hear more about her exciting research!
