Why do YOU do science? Four students and post-doctoral fellows tell us what they find inspiring and fun about doing science. Velez-Perez, McLean, Quiñones-Laracuente and Roberts were all participants in the Summer Program in Neuroscience, Ethics and Survival (SPINES) at the Marine Biological Laboratory. The program provides an intensive course in neuroscience as well as teaching survival skills such as grant writing and public speaking. The program encourages participation by groups underrepresented in neuroscience. A version of this talk was first released in iBioMagazine issue 6. Funded and sponsored by the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) National Science Foundation (NSF) University of California San Francisco (UCSF)

Smartphone-based distributed data collection enables rapid assessment of shorebird habitat suitability
Thieler, E. Robert; Zeigler, Sara L.; Winslow, Luke A.; Hines, Megan K.; Read, Jordan S.; Walker, Jordan I. (Public Library of Science, 2016-11-09)Understanding and managing dynamic coastal landscapes for beach-dependent species requires biological and geological data across the range of relevant environments and habitats. It is difficult to acquire such information; ... -
Predicting interactions between common dolphins and the pole-and-line tuna fishery in the Azores
Cruz, Maria João; Menezes, Gui; Machete, Miguel; Silva, Monica A. (Public Library of Science, 2016-11-16)Common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) are responsible for the large majority of interactions with the pole-and-line tuna fishery in the Azores but the underlying drivers remain poorly understood. In this study we investigate ... -
The role of season and salinity in influencing barnacle distributions in two adjacent coastal mangrove lagoons
Starczak, Victoria R.; Perez-Brunius, Paula; Levine, Hazel E.; Gyory, Joanna; Pineda, Jesus (University of Miami - Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 2011-07-01)Barnacles are often abundant on roots and branches of mangrove trees in tidal channels and coastal lagoons of the Pacific coast of Panama. Yet, in some coastal lagoons, barnacles are absent. We investigated pre- and ...
