This science experiment tests the photobiology, microbiome, and gene expression responses of the aggregating sea anemone to plastic pollutant derived leachate
This is a repo for the multiple-stressor follow-up experiment to the anemone-leachate pilot study. Here we study the photophysiology of a temperate symbiotic cnidarian in response to both PVC leachate exposure and thermal stress.
This repo tracks the lab-work done to extract holobiont DNA and cnidarian host RNA from *Montipora capitata* rice corals using the Zymo Quick-DNA/RNA Miniprep Plus Kit
A single stressor experiment testing the embryonic development of Montipora capitata corals when exposed to PVC leachate.
A multiple stressor experiment on adult Montipora capitata nubbins over a 96-hour exposure to thermal stress and PVC leachate pollution.
This repo details the multi-stressor exposure experiment conducted in August 2022 at Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) in Kaneohe Bay. In this experiment coral fragments were exposed to increasing levels of phthalate pollution and thermal stress for 48 hours.
A lesson plan on the role of oxidative stress in coral bleaching
Field work conducted by the JPG-lab at HIMB from June 7th - August 20th at Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology
an open lab notebook
A game about phytoplankton, inspired by Wingspan
personal blog draft, learning to use quarto blogs
A little bit about me
This is a repo for Kip Howell's SAFS Senior Capstone Project! In this project we will expose developing urchin embryos to leachates from PVC and Tire-Wear Particles to observe impacts of anthropogenic pollution on the lifecycle of a keystone marine invertebrate.
